Ohio Workers' Compensation Attorneys
As lawyers dedicated to defending the rights of individuals with workers' compensation issues, we are skilled at dealing with the complex system and its many legal requirements. Our devotion to client service uses a personal touch to form a lasting professional relationship that leads the effective resolution of each claim. From a history of helping thousands of clients that spans over more than 50 years, we understand that clients would rather focus on personal health and recovery than deal with the legal requirements of claims.
The Ohio Workers' Compensation System
Two agencies form the Ohio workers' compensation system: the Industrial Commission of Ohio (IC) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Claim processing, compensation benefit payments and employment rehabilitation services are administered through the BWC. Claim disputes are resolved through the IC.
Over the years, we have seen the compromising position that clients can endure after a workplace injury or accident. Often, the pressure to remain employed supersedes the need for an objective diagnosis from a doctor certified by the BWC. Instead, many clients have felt pressured to go to doctors recommended through employer referrals, and the resulting medical findings can compromise the validity of workers' claims in the future. To start the claim process with objectivity, we can provide clients with referrals to a network of doctors who are certified by the BWC.
For any workers' compensation issue, it is important to take action and work with a qualified attorney immediately. We are committed to providing effective representation to Ohioans suffering from workplace injuries. With offices conveniently located in Columbus, Ironton and Portsmouth, we serve clients throughout central and southern Ohio.
