Ohio Workplace Accident Attorney Helping Injured Workers
If you get hurt at work, Ohio’s workers’ compensation system allows you to file a claim for your injuries. The law offers benefits to cover medical expenses, wage replacement and disability, based on how serious your injuries are. Working with a skilled Ohio workplace accident attorney can help ensure that you get the benefits you deserve to heal and return to work.
My name is Todd Miller, and I have been a lawyer since 1994, focusing solely on workers’ compensation cases. In 1999, I became a certified workers’ compensation specialist through the Ohio State Bar Association. I support clients in Dayton and nearby areas of Ohio with free consultations and personal attention.
Steps To Take Immediately After A Workplace Accident
If you get injured at work, act fast. Here’s a quick list of steps to protect your claim:
- Tell your employer about the accident as soon as you can.
- Get medical treatment and keep records of all care you receive.
- Follow your doctor’s work restrictions.
- Go to all follow-up medical appointments.
- Don’t post about your injury or accident on social media.
- Don’t let your employer force you to quit.
Once you have taken these steps, reach out to an experienced Ohio workplace accident attorney to review your case.
Types Of Workers’ Compensation Benefits You May Receive
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for different benefits. These can include wage replacement if you need time off work, payment for medical expenses and disability benefits. Ohio provides benefits for temporary, total disabled, partial or permanent disability. Which benefits you receive will depend on how severe your injury is. If a workplace accident in Ohio is fatal, dependents may also be eligible for benefits.
How I Can Help If Your Claim Gets Denied
If the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) denies your claim, I can help you appeal and attend the hearings. I will investigate why they rejected your claim and work to secure your wage replacement or disability benefits through the proper process. I will also check to determine whether you are eligible for additional medical expense coverage or permanent disability payments.
