After an Injury, Hold On to the Lifestyle You’ve Earned

You worked hard for what you have. Don’t let an injury at work take it all away.

When you can’t work because of a workplace accident or other job-related medical condition, a workers’ compensation claim protects your finances and your lifestyle.

But your employer and the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) might treat your claim like nothing more than an expense they want to avoid.

They might conceal all the benefits you’re entitled to receive. They might say you don’t need a lawyer, that you can trust your employer to process your claim.

Don’t believe them.

Get an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer to make sure you receive everything that’s fair.
