Protecting You After a Workplace Injury
In the State of Ohio, any employee who is injured on the job or suffers from an occupational disease or repetitive motion condition may file a workers' compensation claim. This is applicable whether it is the fault of the employee, the employer or a third party. It does not matter whether the injured party has missed any time from work or has not been on the job for days, weeks, months or indefinitely.
The BWC and employers may tell you that you don't need an attorney, however they have one, and so should you. The attorneys at Lallo & Feldman know all the important steps to take, and will work with you to:
- Identify evidence
- Determine workers' compensation benefits
- File claims and attend hearings
- File appeals when necessary
- Evaluate rehabilitation programs
- Achieve maximum benefits
