Biohazard Cleanup in
Martinsville, Virginia

In most cases homeowners insurance covers biohazard remediation when the event is a covered peril — open a claim before cleanup begins, and the cleanup company can usually bill your adjuster directly. If the event was a violent crime, Virginia's Virginia Victims Fund (up to $35,000) may also help — cleanup costs are generally covered.

Virginia reimburses crime-scene cleanup as a covered expense, capped at $1,000 within the program's overall award. Applications go through the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission (1-800-468-8892). Deadline: within 1 year of the crime (3 years for crimes on or after july 1, 2025). Victims of violent crime and family members of homicide victims. Uniquely administered by the Workers' Compensation Commission rather than the AG's office.
