Your Rights Under Ohio's Workers' Compensation Law

Ohio's workers' compensation law provides employees with certain rights in the event of a work-related injury or illness. Employees have the right to receive medical treatment and wage replacement benefits, as well as other benefits, if they are unable to work due to their injury or illness. The law also provides employees with the right to file a claim for workers' compensation benefits if they believe their employer has failed to provide them with the proper coverage.

There are a few things to keep in mind when filing a work injury claim in Ohio. First, it is important to report the injury to your employer as soon as possible. You will need to fill out a workers' compensation claim form and submit it to your employer. Your employer will then have 14 days to file a report with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

It is also important to seek medical attention for your injuries. You should see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Be sure to keep all of your medical records and documentation of your injuries. This will be important when filing your claim.

You will need to prove that your injuries were caused by your job in order to receive benefits. You will need to show that you were performing your job duties at the time of the accident and that the accident was due to no fault of your own.

 

Who Is Eligible for Ohio Workers’ Compensation Benefits?

In order to be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits in Ohio, an employee must have been injured while performing their job duties. The injury must have occurred within the state of Ohio, and the employee must have been working for their employer at the time of the injury. If an employee is killed while working, their surviving spouse or dependent children may be eligible for benefits.
 

Are remote injuries payable under Ohio workers’ compensation laws?

Yes, remote injuries are payable under Ohio workers’ compensation laws. This means that if you are injured while working remotely, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can help to cover medical expenses and lost wages.
 

Temporary total compensation termination

If you are receiving Temporary Total Compensation (TTC), your benefits will end if you return to work full time before your injury is fully healed. If you return to work part time, your benefits will be reduced based on your earnings. There are further programs, including wage loss, that can help make up the difference in wages if you are only able to return part time, or are only able to obtain a less paying job.
 

If you have any questions about filing a work injury claim in Ohio, be sure to speak with an experienced workers' compensation attorney who can help guide you through the process. 
 

HERE IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
ABOUT THE REAL CASPERS

I had contracted one of the national firms. I fired them and went with Steven at Casper, Casper & Casper. He was able to win my case. The professionalism at the firm was superb. I would highly recommend.

Jim Smith — dayton, OH

Steve Casper and his staff were always very helpful in getting everything ready for my case. They are very knowledgeable and put my mind at ease helping me understand each step of the proces of me getting my disability. I would highly recommend Steve Casper and his staff to anyone seeking social security disabilities.

Yvonne Charles - Dayton Ohio

...I had initially been denied by SSDI and my case went to hearing. Steve guided me along each step of the way and prepared me by helping me understand what to expect during the hearing process. My case was complicated and he sifted through a huge file, reached out to doctors and created a portfolio documenting why I deserve the benefits and how my conditions tie back to specific SSDI listed conditions.
