Leading Cleveland Law Firm Specializing In Workers’ Compensation
Under Ohio law, injured workers have the right to file a compensation claim through the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) to recover benefits. But the system is not always easy; one mistake and your claim can be delayed, denied or underpaid. That is why working with the right legal help from the start matters.
At Philip J. Fulton Law Office, we have been standing up for workers in Cleveland, Elyria and throughout Ohio since 1980. We have handled thousands of successful claims and literally wrote the book on Ohio Workers’ Compensation Law. We help real people like you who need a path forward after a job injury.
How Does A Workers’ Compensation Claim Work In Cleveland?
Filing for workers’ comp through the Ohio BWC is supposed to be a straightforward process. But it rarely is. That is because employers and insurance reps may dispute your injuries or argue the accident was not work-related. You may also run into problems like unpaid benefits or poor medical treatment.
Overall, below is what you should know:
- You must report your work-related injury to your employer immediately.
- Claims must be filed within one year of the date of injury.
- Benefits can include wage loss, medical treatment, compensation programs for permanent disabilities and death benefits.
- Disputes are resolved through hearings at the Industrial Commission of Ohio.
It is not too late – even if you have already received a denial letter or your benefits are delayed. Ohio law gives you rights, but enforcing them often takes more than paperwork. That is why having one of our experienced attorneys on your side makes a difference. We will help ensure your voice is heard and your claim is taken seriously.
