Dayton Workers’ Compensation Benefits Attorney For Injured Employees
If you get hurt at work in Ohio, filing a workers’ compensation claim can seem difficult. My name is Todd Miller, and I am a Dayton workers’ compensation attorney with over 30 years of experience. I help people like you learn about wage replacement, payment for medical expenses, benefits for permanent disfigurement or amputation and types of disability. I will explain how payments like direct deposits for lost wages and direct billing to doctors work. I will also show you when benefits start and how to appeal if you need more support.
The Ohio State Bar Association certified me in workers’ compensation law in 1999. Since then, I have used that certification to help injured workers across Ohio. My goal is to help people receive compensation for their work injuries. Along with my staff, I stand ready to serve workers in Dayton and Montgomery County.
Understanding The Types Of Workers’ Compensation Benefits Available
Benefits for injured workers in Ohio can include the following:
- Wage replacement for time off due to temporary disability
- Payment for medical expenses, including those from doctor visits, therapy, surgeries and medication
- Benefits for permanent partial or total disability, based on your injury
- Compensation for permanent disfigurement, following Ohio’s rules
- Mental health conditions caused by a traumatic injury
As your Dayton workers’ compensation attorney, I will help you determine the Ohio workers’ compensation benefits that will best fit your needs.
How Payments And Medical Expenses Are Handled After An Injury
When the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) approves a claim, it sends payments, usually by direct deposit. Doctors typically receive direct payments for covered care, so the worker does not pay up front. Benefits often begin a few weeks after the BWC approves the claim.
What To Do If You Need To Appeal For More Benefits
If your Ohio compensation benefits do not cover everything you need, I can help you appeal. I will take care of the paperwork and push for better wage replacement or disability benefits. I will aim to provide you with clear advice and strong support.
