Questions
What should I do immediately after a work-related injury?
Report the injury to your employer in writing and seek medical attention from an Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation-certified provider. Document the incident details and contact our firm for guidance.
When should I hire a workers' compensation attorney?
Retain an attorney as soon as possible after injury to ensure proper claim filing, medical treatment approval, and representation during hearings or appeals.
How are workers' compensation disability payments calculated?
Payments depend on injury severity, average weekly wage, and duration of disability. Temporary total disability pays 72% of your full weekly wage for the first 12 weeks, then 66.67% thereafter.
Can I settle my workers' compensation claim?
Yes, but settlements require careful consideration of future medical needs, Social Security impacts, and long-term financial implications. Our attorneys help evaluate settlement offers.
What happens if my disability benefits are denied?
We assist with appeals, hearings, and gathering medical evidence to challenge denials. Early intervention improves chances of overturning unfavorable decisions.
Do I need to attend a workers' compensation hearing?
Attendance is typically required unless your attorney can represent you. We prepare clients for virtual or in-person hearings and handle communication with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
