Abrams Landau client gets new home improvements
- Home Improvements ?
- For injured workers ?
- Is Landau fore real ?
Injured workers under comp Awards are eligible for medical, wage loss and medication benefits. But there are many other types of benefits available according to Herndon Lawyer Doug Landau. Abrams Landau clients have benefited from the experience and teamwork of the workers comp team at the “Law Shop.”
Virginia “Super Lawyer” Doug Landau had the opportunity to make one of his famous “home visits” to a brain injured young client. Abrams Landau’s trial lawyer triathlete made a weekend visit to this profoundly disabled client at his home. The client’s Spotsylvania home was on the race course of the Triathlon Trial Lawyer’s last Virginia Triathlon Series event ! This Abrams Landau client suffered multiple orthopedic and traumatic brain injuries when he fell from a bridge construction site. Doug Landau tried the case successfully in Warrenton as the original accident and brain injury occurred in Culpeper. This 38-year-old Abrams Landau client has received over $150,000 in wage loss benefits, and his mother was paid over $12,000 for caring for her brain injured adult son.
So, how did Herndon Lawyer Doug Landau’s brain injured client get the new home improvements ?

Triathlon Trial Lawyer Doug Landau of Abrams Landau, Ltd. shown at his client’s home, prior to improvements being made by the Comp Insurance Company. As the Virginia Triathlon Series last event went by the client’s Spotsylvania home, Landau (shown here with his race number still on his arm !) made his third visit to this brain injury client and his family. Landau ended up winning his age group in the Virginia Triathlon Series as well as winning this brain injured client’s case.
Under Virginia Code, if the treating doctor finds it medically necessary, the Commission can require the employer (and its insurance company) to pay for such things as:
bedside lifts,
adjustable beds,
and modification of the employee’s home
these “modifications” can include such things as:
ramps,
handrails,
appliances
and doorway alterations,
There is a limit of $25,000 for these items and modifications, but Herndon Lawyer Landau points out that this investment can significantly improve an injured worker’s home. Perhaps more importantly, Super Lawyer Doug Landau notes that ramps, handrails, lifts and other modifications can make a disabled worker’s home safer. And making a home safer helps Abrams Landau clients AND their families.
