Changing Lives with Worker's Compensation | Michele Lewane (Worker's Compensation Lawyer)

Episode 38

"It gives me so much purpose and meaning: we are helping educate people in a place where they don't know anything. And they need the help."

Michele Lewane is runs the Injured Workers Law Firm in Richmond, VA, which since 2006 has been advocating to get the benefits injured workers deserve for their worker's compensation claims.

Worker's compensation is a complex and bureaucratic field that requires tremendous expertise and preparation to navigate. Michele guides us through the intricate details, from initial injury reporting to hearings and litigation. She talks about the challenges faced by injured workers in getting the care, coverage and compensation they deserve, and she shares examples that illustrate the importance of early legal intervention.

Michele is also the co-founder of Kids’ Chance of Virginia, which provides post-secondary and trade school scholarships to the children of Virginia workers who have been severely or fatally injured in a workplace accident. You can learn more here: www.kidschanceva.org

It was a privilege having Michele join us.
