DISABILITY

 

Hines Law Office, PLC, has over 28 years of experience handling Virginia Retirement System Disability (VRS) claims.  VRS claims have very specific rules for filing a claim, and Hines Law Office, PLC, is available to help you successfully file and prosecute your claim.  

 

Any employee (state and local government employee) who is a member of the Virginia Retirement System can petition for disability benefits after suffering injury or illness.  Once a claim is filed, a medical review board evaluates the medical evidence and renders a decision on the claim.  If the claim is denied, the disabled employee can appeal and request an "informal fact-finding hearing" in front of a hearing officer.  This is usually held at the employee's attorney's office.  Once the record is closed, the hearing officer makes a recommendation to the medical review board and a final decision is made.  Let Hines Law Office, PLC, assist you in obtaining a favorable decision on your claim.  

 

Hines Law Office, PLC, has handled hundreds of Virginia Retirement System disability claims and has the experience needed to help you be successful on your claim.  Hines Law Office, PLC, can assist you in obtaining well deserved compensation for your disability.

 

IF YOU ARE A MEMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WERE INJURED ON THE JOB, YOU MIGHT ALSO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL BENEFITS SUCH AS LIFETIME HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE.  HINES LAW OFFICE, PLC, CAN HELP YOU WITH OBTAINING THESE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS.
