Stephen Strickler has been practicing law for over 45 years. He first engaged in general litigation practice with a firm in Norfolk where he practiced for 15 years. He moved his law practice to Virginia Beach in 1988 and began concentrating on workers’ compensation and disability claims. His primary area of practice at this time is representing injured workers before the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission and Virginia Court of Appeals. Mr. Strickler and his staff focus on staying in close contact with injured workers in order that they are able to maintain both their medical benefits and weekly compensation payments. In many cases he is able to reach reasonable and appropriate settlements of workers compensation claims. Mr. Strickler previously also represented employers and their insurance carriers in workers’ compensation cases and therefore has considerable experience as to how insurance carriers and their attorneys defend these claims. He now represents only injured workers in his workers’ compensation practice.
Because Mr. Strickler’s workers’ compensation practice places considerable focus on medical issues, Mr. Strickler can also provide an analysis of potential medical malpractice claims.
Mr. Strickler and his staff provide free consultations with regard to workers’ compensation potential claims, disability claims and medical malpractice evaluations.
Personal: Mr. Strickler is married. His wife, Lynda, is a retired Social Worker. They have two daughters. He enjoys golf and traveling to Charlottesville and San Diego to visit their daughters and their grandchildren.
