Workers’ Compensation Attorney Serving Cincinnati and Southwest Ohio
Cincinnati is a powerhouse of industry, logistics, and healthcare. From the major aerospace and manufacturing plants in Evendale and Sharonville to the busy shipping corridors along the Ohio River, the “Queen City” is built on hard work. But the same industries that drive Southwest Ohio’s economy also place workers at a high risk for serious injuries. When you are hurt on the job in Hamilton County, you need an attorney who understands the specific dangers of your workplace.
At Philip J. Fulton Law Office, we are dedicated to helping Cincinnati’s workforce secure the benefits they deserve. We have deep experience handling claims for the injuries most common to this region’s key sectors, including:
- Manufacturing and Aerospace: Crushed limbs, chemical exposure, and repetitive stress injuries affecting workers at major local aviation and automotive manufacturing facilities.
- Logistics and Transportation: Forklift accidents, loading dock injuries, and vehicle collisions involving drivers on I-75, I-71, and the region’s busy distribution hubs.
- Healthcare: Back and shoulder injuries from patient handling, as well as infectious disease exposure affecting nurses and aides at Cincinnati’s world-class hospital systems.
- Construction and Trades: Falls from scaffolding, electrocution, and equipment failure on commercial and residential projects throughout the Miami Valley.
Local Representation for Industrial Commission Hearings
If your workers’ compensation claim is contested, your hearing will likely be held at the Industrial Commission of Ohio’s Cincinnati Regional Office, located downtown at 125 East Court Street. You need an attorney who is familiar with the local hearing officers and procedures in this specific district.
Our attorneys have represented thousands of injured workers and know how to present a compelling case before the Industrial Commission. We handle every step of the process, including:
- Initial Allowance: Ensuring your claim is filed correctly and includes all relevant medical conditions from the start.
- Total Disability Benefits: Fighting for Temporary Total (TTD) or Permanent Total (PTD) disability if your injury prevents you from returning to the workforce.
- Permanent Partial Disability: Securing fair compensation for the lasting impairment caused by your injury, even if you have returned to work.
- VSSR Awards: Seeking additional compensation if your injury resulted from your employer’s violation of a specific safety requirement.
