Am I Covered by the Fund If I Am Injured Performing My Duties With The Ohio National Guard?

by Kara Dolan-West | Sep 05, 2014 | Workplace Accidents and Injuries

In order for a member of the Ohio National Guard to be considered an employee of the state of Ohio for purposes of receiving workers’ compensation benefits, the claimant must satisfy a two-prong test: (1) the member must have been ordered to state active duty by competent state authority; and (2) federal benefits must not be otherwise available to the member.

If the Guard member is found to be an employee of the state, he or she is covered under R.C. § 4123.01, which specifies that members of the militia qualify for maximum benefits under R.C. §§ 4123.01 to 4123.60, 4123.62 to 4123.94, and 4123.99.

If you have been injured while serving as a member of the Ohio National Guard, please contact The Bainbridge Firm for help gaining the compensation you deserve.
