Workers’ Compensation For Dayton Police And First Responders
When first responders start their workday, they put themselves in danger to protect others. Sadly, when they get hurt on the job, many feel unappreciated and face a tough fight to get the benefits they deserve. Big employers often won’t fight for you, but I will.
I’m Todd Miller, a certified specialist in workers’ compensation law by the Ohio State Bar Association with over 30 years of experience. I have spent my career standing up for police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other first responders in Dayton and southwest Ohio. I know the unique risks they face and the problems they have when trying to get help.
Common Injuries First Responders Face
First responders often deal with injuries and health problems such as the following:
- Broken bones and burns
- Breathing problems from the inhalation of smoke or chemicals
- Sprains and strains from heavy lifting or rescue work
- Hearing loss from loud noises
- Mental health issues
Ohio law also makes the rules more difficult for first responders when it comes to mental health claims. These cases need special care and skill.
When Employers Don’t Fight For You
As a first responder, it is common to face problems when asking for workers’ comp benefits. Employers may pressure you to accept less or say no. That is why you need a skilled lawyer on your side.
If the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) denies your claim, I can help you appeal and fight to secure the full benefits and treatment you need.
Don’t Talk To Anyone Without A Lawyer
If you get hurt at work, it’s very important to have an attorney help you before you answer questions or give statements to your employer or insurance company. I will make sure that you only say what you need to and will protect your rights all along the way.
