Approved February 25, 1942
1. Beit enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That sections
thirty, thirty-one, thirty-nine and forty-two, of chapter four hundred of
the Acts of nineteen hundred and eighteen, short title of which is “The
Virginia Workmen’s Compensation Act,” as heretofore amended, be
amended and re-enacted, as follows:
Section 30. Where the incapacity for work resulting from the in.
jury is total, the employer shall pay, or cause to be paid, as hereinafter
provided, to the injured employee during such total incapacity, a weekly
compensation equal to fifty-five per centum of his average weekly wages
but not more than eighteen dollars, nor less than six dollars a week ; anc
in no case shall the period covered by such compensation be greater that
fve hundred weeks, nor shall the total amount of all compensation exceec
seven thousand dollars.
Section 31. Except as otherwise provided in the next section here
after, where the incapacity for work resulting from the injury is partial
the employer shall pay, or cause to be paid, as hereinafter provided, t
the injured employee during such incapacity a weekly compensation equa
to fifty-five per centum of the difference between his average weekl
wages before the injury and the average weekly wages which he is abl
to earn thereafter, but not more than eighteen dollars a week, and in n
case shall the period covered by such compensation be greater than thre
hundred weeks from the date of injury. In case the partial incapacity be
gins after a period of total incapacity, the latter period shall be deducte
from the maximum period herein allowed for partial incapacity.
Section 39. If the death results from the accident within six year:
the employer shall pay or cause to be paid, subject, however, to the prc
visions of the other sections of this act, in one of the methods hereinafte
provided, to the dependents of the employee wholly dependent upon his
earnings for support at the time of accident a weekly payment equal to
fifty-five per centum of his average weekly wages, but not more than eigh-
teen dollars nor less than six dollars a week for a period of three hundred
weeks, but in no case to exceed six thousand dollars, from the date of
the injury, and burial expenses not exceeding one hundred and fifty dol-
lars. If the employee leaves dependents only partly dependent upon his
earnings for support at the time of the injury, the weekly compensation
to be paid as aforesaid, shall equal the same proportion of the weekly
payments for the benefit of persons wholly dependent, as the extent of
partial dependency bears to total dependency. When weekly payments
have been made to an injured employee before his death the compensation
to dependents shall begin from the date of the last of such payments, but
shall not continue more than three hundred weeks from the date of the in-
jury. If the employee does not leave dependent, citizens of and residing
at the time of the accident in the United States or Dominion of Canada,
the amount of compensation shall not in any case exceed one thousand
dollars.
Section 42. The total compensation payable under this act shall in
no case exceed seven thousand dollars ($7,000.00).
