Workers' Compensation

 

Ohio Workers' Compensation law is complicated and constantly changing and without question you need help navigating the system; knowing who to talk to and when; and knowing your rights.

 

Typically, the Workers' Compensation compensates injured Ohioans for lost wages and medical bills incurred as a result of resulting from an injury at work.  In order to get your medical bills taken care of and to be eligible for lost wages you must prove that you suffered an injury or occupational disease during the course of and/or arising out of their employment.  Oftentimes, the employer will step in and fight your claim, which can seriously slow down or stop your benefits altogether.  Your employer will hire attorneys to get your claim denied.  These situations are complicated and require legal attention immediately.

 

If you, a friend, or a family member have been involved in a work related accident or are suffering from a disease such as carpal tunnel syndrome or arthritis or degenerative disc disease which you feel may be from your work, give the dedicated staff at NR & S a call.  We have attorneys and paralegals waiting to help you navigate the system and get your bills taken care of and the money you deserve.  Our fight is your fight.  Call today for a free consolation with an experienced Workers' Compensation attorney.

 

In some situations, Workers' Compensation is not an injured workers' exclusive remedy for compensation.  Such situations generally arise when a third party (other than the employer) is in some way responsible for the injury.  If you think this situation applies to you, contact us immediately for a free consultation.
