Profile
The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Law Firm
HammondTownsend is a premier law firm dedicated exclusively to representing injured workers. With a main office located at 8550 Mayland Drive in Richmond’s West End, the firm has built a reputation as a powerhouse in workers’ compensation law. Since its founding in 1994, HammondTownsend has recovered over $3 billion for clients across the Commonwealth. As a veteran-owned business, they bring a disciplined, fighting spirit to every case, ensuring that hardworking Virginians receive the benefits they deserve after an on-the-job injury.
Exclusive Focus on Injured Workers
Unlike general practice firms, HammondTownsend focuses 100% of its resources on workers’ compensation. This specialization allows them to navigate the complex bureaucratic and legal hurdles that often trip up other attorneys. They assist clients with:
- Claim Filing and Denials: ensuring accurate paperwork is filed on time and aggressively appealing denied claims.
- Medical Benefits: Fighting to ensure insurance companies pay for necessary surgeries, treatments, and medications.
- Lost Wages: Recovering compensation for time off work due to temporary or permanent disability.
- Lump Sum Settlements: Negotiating maximum settlements for workers who require long-term financial security.
Statewide Reach, Local Presence
While they serve clients statewide, their Richmond headquarters serves as a central hub for the firm’s operations. The attorneys at HammondTownsend are well-known by the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission and defense firms alike. Their deep knowledge of the system and ”reputation for results” means that insurance adjusters take them seriously from day one.
Accessible and Supportive
Understanding that an injury can be isolating, the firm prioritizes communication. They offer free case evaluations and operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning injured workers pay no attorney fees unless they win their case. The team includes Spanish-speaking staff to serve Virginia’s diverse workforce.
