Dedicated Workers' Compensation Attorneys in Richmond

Empowering Injured Workers Since 2006

The Injured Workers Law Firm is a boutique legal practice in Richmond, Virginia, with a singular and powerful focus: helping employees who have been hurt on the job. Founded in 2006 by Michele Lewane, a passionate advocate with decades of experience, the firm was built on the belief that injured workers deserve more than just legal representation-they deserve education and empowerment. Michele is the author of The Ultimate Guide to Workers' Compensation in Virginia, a resource she provides to help demystify the complex legal process for everyday people. Unlike general practice firms that dabble in various areas of law, this firm dedicates its resources almost exclusively to workers' compensation claims. This specialization allows them to stay ahead of the constantly changing laws and insurance tactics that can jeopardize a worker's benefits.

Workers' compensation in Virginia is a complex administrative system with strict deadlines and procedural hurdles. A simple mistake can lead to a denial of medical treatment or lost wage payments.

The firm also leverages technology to assist clients who may be too injured to travel, offering phone and video consultations to get the claims process started immediately.

No Upfront Costs

The Injured Workers Law Firm operates on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not pay any attorney fees out of pocket. Fees are only deducted from the settlement or benefits awarded, and only if the firm is successful in handling your claim. This ensures that every injured worker has access to high-quality legal counsel regardless of their current financial situation. If you have been hurt at work, do not risk your benefits by facing the insurance company alone. Order a lawyer who knows the system inside and out.
