Workplace Accidents

Under Ohio law, if you are injured at your place of work, you could be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. This benefit is designed to cover injured employees’ lost wages as well as the costs associated with medical care and rehabilitation from a workplace accident or other work-related incident.

In addition, Ohio law recognizes the right of employees to sue their own company, even when they are receiving workers’ compensation, in certain cases. An employer can be held liable in situations including:

• Failing to screen other workers who may have violent tendencies;
• Removal of safety guards from dangerous machinery;
• Establishing production requirements that are likely to result in serious injury.

I often receive calls from people who have had their workers’ compensation claims denied. If this has happened to you, I can help get your claim accepted.

Please call me to discuss your situation. I take a detailed approach to evaluating every case and will advise you on your options and your rights. I collect no attorneys’ fees unless and until you recover on your claim, whether by settlement or by trial verdict.

There is no fee for an initial consultation.
