Understanding what is covered by workers’ compensation in Ohio is not easy.  Unfortunately, difficulty understanding the workers’ compensation system causes many eligible workers not to file claims and many more to file claims without all necessary records and documentary evidence required.

As experienced Ohio workers’ compensation lawyers, the team at Lowe Eklund Wakefield Co., LPA can help you or your loved one no matter where you are in the claims process.  If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to receive assistance.  You deserve to collect all assistance available, to understand your rights, and to have an attorney who will give your case immediate and close attention.

To learn whether you may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation, it is recommended that you speak to an attorney regarding your claims.  While every case is different, below are a few points intended to help novices understand what your attorney will review when determining whether your claim may be covered.

When personal injuries happen in the workplace, understanding your rights can be difficult.  Issues of employment law, tort law, and product liability law frequently overlap.  Determining who is responsible for your injuries—and recovering compensation from all liable parties and available resources—takes experience and legal resources.

Unexpected medical bills can be a serious financial burden in any circumstance.  When an injury leaves you unable to work, the costs of medical treatments can seem insurmountable.  Fortunately for Ohio’s workers, if an injury occurs on the job financial assistance may be available in the form of workers’ compensation.

Ohio’s workers’ compensation program allows those injured in work-related accidents to receive temporary or permanent assistance for lost wages.  More importantly for many injured workers, workers’ compensation benefits may be available to cover the pricey medical treatment costs that come from suffering workplace injuries.

Any type of personal injury can leave you unable to work either temporarily or permanently.  When your injury occurs during the course of your employment, you may be entitled to receive workers’ compensation benefits.  These benefits include compensation for lost wages incurred because of your injury, condition, or illness.

If you or your family member suffered an on-the-job injury, time is ticking.  Obtaining the benefits to which you are entitled can be complicated, and filing a claim must be completed according to the rules and regulations set by Ohio law.  Lowe Eklund Wakefield Co., LPA’s workers compensation lawyers are available now to help you, regardless of where you are in the claim process.

Ohio law provides protections for individuals who suffer work-related injuries.  If you or your loved one were injured on the job, workers’ compensation benefits may be available to assist you financially in both the near- and long-term, depending on your situation.
