Compensation For Ohio’s First Responders Injured On The Job

First responders are the everyday heroes of our community. They risk their lives to save the lives of others. Whether fighting fires, responding to medical emergencies or maintaining public safety, they are always ready to answer the call of duty, demonstrating courage and dedication in every circumstance.

If you’ve been injured on the job as a first responder, you deserve a legal champion who’s as dedicated as you are. We can be your champions.

With many offices statewide, we offer local convenience combined with a far-reaching presence and the resources it takes to provide clients with the determined representation they deserve. We’ve recovered hundreds of millions for our clients statewide.

Workers’ Compensation: A Critical Benefit For First Responders

First responders – including emergency medical technicians (EMTs), firefighters (paid and volunteer) and police officers – are eligible for workers’ compensation when they suffer job-related injuries, illnesses or mental health disorders. We help them recover compensation for job-related harm, such as:

• Burns and smoke inhalation
• Sprains and fractures
• Exposure to infectious diseases
• Psychological disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Our lawyers understand the complexities of workers’ compensation claims for first responders. We will work as tirelessly as you do to obtain the full benefits you deserve. We also help surviving family members pursue death benefits when they have tragically lost a loved one on the job.

Exploring Additional Avenues For Compensation

Beyond workers’ compensation, you may have other avenues for seeking compensation. If you’ve suffered serious health issues after exposure to toxic substances like firefighting foam, you may be eligible to file a personal injury claim or even a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer. You may also have grounds to file a third-party personal injury claim against others who contributed to your injuries – for example, a negligent driver who caused a work-related car accident.
