For most people the hardest part of a claim is not the law. It is the weeks between the day the wages stop and the day anything arrives to replace them.

Serving Trotwood and the surrounding Montgomery County area from our nearby Dayton office.
Trotwood is a working community, and the calls that come from here are weighted towards workers compensation and disability rather than road collisions.
What those two have in common is a gap. A workers compensation claim has to be allowed before compensation flows, and an allowed claim can still be disputed. A disability claim takes months at best. Meanwhile the rent is monthly and the electricity company is not interested in why.
That gap is the reason people go back to work too early, accept the first offer, or give up on a claim that was sound. It is worth saying plainly because it is rarely said at all: the pressure is financial, not legal, and it is the single most common reason a good claim ends badly.
What helps is knowing which parts move faster than others, what can be applied for while the main claim runs, and where a decision can be pushed rather than waited on. That is a conversation worth having at the start rather than at the point where something has to be signed.
The second and third of these are where most Trotwood calls begin, and both involve waiting.
Trotwood sits in Montgomery County, and a claim that reaches court is heard at the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas at 41 N. Perry Street in Dayton, in the Montgomery County Courts Building.
Very few of these cases go there. A workers compensation dispute runs through the state system and its own hearing stages first, and a disability claim is federal from beginning to end. The court matters to the injury claims and to almost nothing else.
For those, Ohio generally allows two years from the date the claim arises (Ohio Revised Code § 2305.10). Nothing about the financial pressure of waiting changes that date, which is why it is worth having the claim looked at early rather than when the deadline is close.

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.
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.
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.
It depends which claim and whether it is disputed, and anybody who gives you a confident number without knowing your facts is guessing. What we can do at the first conversation is tell you which parts of your situation move quickly and which do not, so you can plan rather than hope.
That is understood and it is very common. It does not end a claim, though it does need explaining, because an employer will present it as evidence you had recovered. What you were doing, for how long, and what it cost you is the answer.
Often yes, and a great many people in this position should be doing both. They are separate systems with separate tests. They do interact, particularly around settlement, so they are better looked at together than one at a time.
