How We Help Injured Virginia Workers
Give us a call. Your free initial consultation will be directly with an experienced Virginia workers’ compensation lawyer. We will give you our honest assessment of your case, and get you pointed in the right direction. Please remember, getting voluntarily paid workers compensation is NOT the same as being protected by an Award Order from the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission. Let us explain your next steps. Call us.
Workplace Injury Claims
Lost Wage Benefits
A work injury can leave you unable to earn your regular paycheck. We help injured workers pursue ALL benefits that they are eligible for under the law. Talk to us, we can help.

With more than 30 years’ experience in Virginia Workers’ Compensation matters, we know the area’s medical providers, specialists, therapists, and adjusters. Call us, we can help!
Denied Workers' Compensation Claims
An insurance company’s denial isn’t necessarily the final word. We review disputed claims and help injured workers understand their options after a denial.
Permanent Disability
Benefits
Some workplace injuries cause lasting limitations. Our firm helps injured workers pursue applicable permanent disability benefits under Virginia law.
Workers' Compensation Hearings
When disputes cannot be resolved, we prepare and represent injured workers in proceedings before the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission.
My Checks Have Stopped
If your workers’ compensation checks have stopped or become irregular, you may be worried about paying your bills. We can review your award, work status, and insurance correspondence to determine what steps may be available to address the interruption.
I’ve Been Offered a Settlement
A workers’ compensation settlement can affect your future medical care and financial security. Before you agree, we can review the offer, explain what benefits you would be giving up, and help you evaluate whether it fits your circumstances.

Here’s a polished 5-star Google review you can use (or tweak to fit your exact experience): ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot thank the Law Offices of Charles W. O'Donnell, P.C. enough for the incredible work on my workers’ compensation case! From day one, they showed the highest level of professionalism and genuine care for my situation. Being in CRNA school while dealing with a workplace injury was stressful, but their support made all the difference. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions promptly, and fought hard to ensure I got the outcome I deserved — and we had a SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME! I truly felt like I had an advocate who cared about my future, not just my case. If you’re looking for a workers’ compensation lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and relentless in getting results, I highly recommend Law Offices of Charles W. O'Donnell, P.C.Posted on Google![]()

Charlie and his outstanding staff represented me during a WMC case. I have never used a lawyer before and had no idea what to expect. They provided outstanding representation, service, and thorough communication during the entire process. I was never left in the dark. The desired outcome of the case was achieved. I am very grateful for the person that recommended Charlie's firm. Charlie, Darlene thanks again for all the help you all are the best!
