Where the work is manufacturing and logistics, the vehicle that hurt you is often a work vehicle, and that changes which claims you have.

Serving Springfield and the surrounding Clark County area from our nearby Dayton office.
Springfield’s working life is built on manufacturing and on moving goods, and both leave their mark in a way that shapes the claims that come out of the town.
Machinery injuries are the obvious part: crush injuries, hands and fingers, the harm done when a guard was missing or a machine was cleaned while it was running. Alongside those sit the slower damage of lifting and repetition, and the respiratory and hearing effects of years in a plant.
The part people miss is the vehicles. Where driving is part of the job, a collision is not simply a road accident. It is an Ohio workers’ compensation claim because it happened in the course of the work, and it is separately a claim against whoever caused it. Where a commercial vehicle is involved there may be more insurance in play than anybody first assumes, and a different set of safety rules behind it.
Getting both claims opened matters, because the compensation claim pays for treatment while the injury claim takes its time.
A crash at work can be the first and the second of these at once. Opening both is the practical point.
Springfield’s economy is manufacturing and logistics, and that combination produces claims at both ends: machinery and lifting injuries inside the plant, and collisions involving vehicles being driven as part of the job.
Springfield is the seat of Clark County, and county matters are heard at the Clark County Court of Common Pleas here in the city.
Ohio generally allows two years from the date a personal injury claim arises to bring it (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10), and two years from the date of death for a wrongful death claim (§ 2125.02). Where a crash happened in the course of work there is a workers’ compensation claim running alongside on its own timetable. General information about Ohio law rather than advice.

They are a fantastic group of people that care about their clients. I had the most wonderful experience with them. They helped me with my case and they are super professional but also a balance of lovely compassionate people. Steven and Ben are so sweet and always helped me when I had any questions or paperwork with no judgment.
From the first day I spoke with Mr Steve Casper he was certain we would win my case. He gave me all the confidence that I needed. It's been a long journey but well worth it. We made it and with a win!! Mr Steve Casper is amazing. Ben his assistant is very nice and very knowledgeable too.
I had been working with a large firm for YEARS all to get a letter that said wish you well in the future. Now Casper, Casper & Casper have took action immediately and have been more than proactive in my case in less than month. Very professional and outstanding care and they call you back within the same day.
I've had the pleasure of knowing Steve Casper for over 20 years. I've always appreciated Steve's integrity, humility, and sense of humor. He's very intelligent and yet down-to-earth. I wholeheartedly trust and recommend Steve and Casper, Casper, Casper.
Casper, Casper & Casper were all very professional when I had to speak with them and they made me feel just as important as everyone else's case. They helped me tremendously in a reasonable amount of time. I also was impressed how they get right to the point, no beating around the bush, I appreciate that.
They were very excellent and very quick with my case because I'm not very good at filling out paperwork they did it all for me. It was easy for me and it didn't take very long and they had my case settled I appreciate everything they have done and I will be referring them to other people.
General information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. The only way to know where yours stands is to have someone look at it.
Likely both. A collision in the course of employment can support a workers’ compensation claim and a separate claim against the driver at fault. They run on different rules and they interact, especially when money is recovered from the other driver, so open both from the start.
Say so early and in writing, and note who else knew. Ohio workers’ compensation does not require anybody to have been at fault, but where an injury involved a safety failure there can be more to a claim than the ordinary route. It is a specific question worth asking about your own facts.
Then there is likely to be more insurance available and a different set of rules behind the vehicle and its driver. Evidence in those cases can be lost quickly, so it is one of the situations where speaking to somebody early genuinely changes the outcome.
