Virginia Workers’ Compensation Glossary – Definitions Starting with O

Occupational Disease: A disease or illness during worker’s employment that is work-related and “not an ordinary disease of life to which the general public is exposed outside of the employment.” Note these cases are not so easy to prove, but they do exist.

 

Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Money the worker pays for medical care that the worker normally can be reimbursed for. Typical costs include mileage costs to see the doctor and small expenses that the worker advances.
