Being injured on the job can change your life forever. In many cases, seriously injured workers are unable to return to work for months, and far too many are left permanently disabled. Ohio’s Workers’ Compensation is supposed to provide injured workers with financial compensation for lost wages and medical bills stemming from their work injury. But employers often challenge legitimate claims to keep their costs for Workers’ Compensation insurance low. And while the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) purports to help injured workers and claims they can file for benefits without the aid of a private Workers’ Compensation attorney, its main concern is protecting the state fund from which benefits are paid. Both the BWC and your employer will retain their own lawyers for your claim, and to protect your interests, you should work with an experienced Ohio Workers’ Compensation lawyer as well.
