Were You Injured In a Workplace Accident In Ohio?
Every year, thousands of hardworking men and women are involved in workplace accidents, often losing weeks and months of work because of injuries. In most workplace accidents, the injured employee is eligible to recover medical expenses and wage benefits for their financial losses. Under Ohio law, the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) is the state agency that hears workers' compensation claims.
If you were injured in an accident on the job, or reporting to a job site, you are eligible to file a claim with the BWC. If your claim is approved through the BWC process, and you receive workers' comp benefits, you forfeit your right to sue your employer for any additional money. In many workplace accidents, however, there is often a third party who can be held directly liable for your injuries. These third parties may include the manufacturers of a defective machine, the property owner or an independent subcontractor working on the same job site.
