How to Handle a Workers' Compensation Claim for a Broken Bone

If you suffered a broken bone or dislocated joint at work and cannot perform your regular job duties, you are entitled to apply for workers' compensation benefits. Your benefits may come in the form of direct biweekly checks based on a percentage of your weekly earnings and medical coverage paid directly to your certified medical care facility.

Follow These Steps

Seek medical attention from a doctor certified by the BWC for direct pay medical coverage through a managed care organization. If you are not sure whether your doctor is certified by the BWC, or you don't have a certified doctor, your OhioBWCAttorneys.com lawyer can help you find one in your area.
