Cleveland workers' compensation lawyers

Getting injured workers the benefits they deserve in Cleveland

Ohio workers' compensation is a complicated and constantly changing area of law.  Without question, an injured individual needs an experienced Cleveland workers' compensation attorney to file a claim.  Let a skilled  lawyer from Nager, Romaine & Schneiberg Co., L.P.A. (NRS) in Cleveland help.  Our attorneys, trained paralegals, and staff assist you through the complicated and often frustrating Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) system.

Our experienced legal staff helps injured workers get the benefits they are entitled to.  Over the course of a year, our attorneys handle in excess of 2,000 hearings before the Ohio Industrial Commission.  Whether the issue is the payment of a medical bill, payment of lost time from work, or adding an additional condition to a claim or settlement, our Cleveland workers' compensation staff thoroughly prepares and works on our clients' behalf for a successful result. 

Cleveland workers' compensation lawyers experienced at combating claim challenges and disputing claim denials

Often an employer, or even the BWC itself, steps in to fight your claim, which can slow down or even stop your benefits.  Your employer and the BWC may hire attorneys to have your claim or benefits denied.  These situations are complicated—without a Cleveland worker's compensation lawyer on your side, your rights to full and fair compensation are not protected.  That is why you need representation from a Cleveland workers' compensation lawyer from NRS.

Types of compensation

The Cleveland workers' comp attorneys at Nager, Romaine & Schneiberg Co., L.P.A. can help clients obtain compensation for expenses related any type of on-the-job injury—even those that require only minimal time away from work, such as a broken bone or a minor concussion.  Unfortunately, many injuries result in some degree of disability.  The following are covered under state law:

  • Total disability.  This includes situations where you experience a total loss of function, including both temporary  and permanent total disability.
  • Partial disability.  When you experience a total loss of function to a body part—such as your legs, arms, or an internal bodily function, this is considered to be partial disability.  Again, you can experience temporary or permanent partial disability.

Our workers' compensation lawyers in Cleveland have an impressive track record obtaining settlements to compensate injured workers for a range of expenses, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Lost wages. Whether your wage loss is temporary or permanent, the law provides for compensation.
  • Payment of medical bills. We help injured workers obtain compensation for medical expenses, and we guide them through the process when authorization of treatment is required by law.
  • Reimbursement for therapy. Physical and psychological therapy is often required to help those injured return to the best life possible.  We can also help obtain all additional allowances, such as obtaining vocational rehabilitation to return to work—or to find a new job.
