Legal Question in Workers Comp in District of Columbia

Where is company to file? out of state

Hi, I'm not certain if I'm recieving

correct/full information from my

employer and I'm not certain where to

go. I was injured in an auto accident

(hit from behind) while working in

Virginia. I am in management so my

office is at home (in DC), my Team is

located in Virginia and Corporate is in

Boston. I pay taxes from DC, where is

my company suppose to be filing? I

haven't recieved a straight answer as to

how this works, does PIP cover, what

state should they be looking at for WC,

it's going on 3 weeks so what happens

then? I'm very concerned because I keep

being referred to different people who

don't call back. Any advice???

Re: Where is company to file? out of state

If the injury occurred in Virginia where your particular team is located, the workman's compensation claim would be filed in that state.

(You have two years from the date of the injury to file.)
