Workers Compensation

When You Are Hurt at Work

Ohio workers compensation is meant to cover your medical treatment and a portion of your lost wages when you are injured on the job, regardless of fault. In practice it does not always work smoothly. Claims get denied, treatment gets disputed, and benefits get cut off while you are still recovering. When that happens, you have the right to appeal, and you do not have to handle it alone.

We help injured workers file claims correctly, challenge denials, and push back when an insurer or a managed-care organization refuses treatment your doctor says you need. The goal is straightforward: the benefits and care the law provides, without you having to fight the system by yourself.

Where We Help

• Denied or disputed claims and appeals.
• Treatment requests that were refused.
• Lost-wage and disability benefit disputes.
• Claims an employer says are pre-existing.
• Permanent injury and settlement questions.

Things Worth Knowing

Report it and get treatment. Tell your employer about the injury and see a doctor. The medical record that ties your injury to your work is often what a disputed claim turns on.

A denial is not the end. Many valid claims are denied at first. There is an appeal process with the Industrial Commission, and a denial early on does not mean you have no claim.

You can have your own representation. The employer and its insurer have people working their side. You are allowed to have someone working yours, and in many fee disputes our fee is set within the system rather than out of your pocket.

How the Fee Works

The first consultation is free. We will explain how fees work in a workers compensation matter plainly before you decide anything, including where a fee is governed by the system rather than charged directly to you.
