OHIO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION LAWYERS

Workplace Injury Attorneys

Employers are required by law to minimize workplace hazards. However, even safe workplaces aren’t immune to on-the-job injuries. That’s why Ohio employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Ohio employers can either obtain their own coverage or get coverage through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. Regardless of which type of coverage your employer has, you’re entitled to file a claim if you’re injured while performing your job duties.



Workers’ Compensation Can Be Complex and Confusing

Just because you’ve suffered a workplace injury doesn’t necessarily mean it will be easy to get your claim honored or paid. It’s not uncommon for workers to feel as if their workplace injury has been undervalued, leaving them struggling to pay their medical bills or make ends meet after their injury. In cases like these where your employer or their workers’ comp provider is wrongly denying or undervaluing your claim, it often helps to have your own workers’ comp lawyer.


A workers’ compensation attorney will represent your interests during workers’ comp claim negotiations or during your claim appeal. Your Buckeye Law Group attorney will use their experience operating within the workers’ comp claim process to build the best case possible and fight for the compensation you deserve.


The Workers’ Compensation Claim Process

Filing a workers’ compensation claim can be a bit daunting for injured Ohio workers. In addition to informing your employer of your injury you’ll also need to provide the appropriate information to the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation or your employer’s Managed Care Organization (MCO).


There are forms you’ll need to complete, and you may even need to sign a medical information release. If you fail to take the appropriate steps or don’t cooperate fully with the injury investigators or doctors, you may have trouble getting your claim honored.


A Buckeye Law Group attorney can help you with the process and help clear up any confusion you may have about your claim or how it’s being handled.

Employers and Insurers Have an Incentive to Fight Workers’ Comp Claims

There are many Ohio employers that truly do care about their employees. Those businesses will often take the necessary steps to make sure their workers make a full and speedy recovery after an injury. However, there are also employers who will try to discourage their injured workers from filing claims to avoid having their premiums go up. They might also not want to lose the labor or see their production go down because of an injury.



Insurance companies often want to avoid paying expensive claims, especially if the injured worker might end up receiving workers’ comp benefits for months or years. Having an attorney who understands the process and how insurance companies operate may be beneficial in your case.
