A Catastrophic Job Injury Can Put You Out of Work Forever

When a worker suffers a catastrophic injury in a workplace accident, the entire family suffers. The emergency medical bills, long-term rehabilitation and lost earnings can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.

If your loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury, it is important to talk to a lawyer who can help you navigate the complex rules and requirements of filing a claim through the Ohio Bureau Workers' Compensation (BWC) system. Even the most obvious claims for benefits are often denied because of details, such as missed filing deadlines, accident reports and incomplete medical records. Even your choice of doctor can result in a denied claim.

Catastrophic Injuries: Benefits & Settlement
Catastrophic injuries often limits your ability to return to your original job or may even limit your ability to work at all. Speak with an attorney about permanent benefits, loss of use awards and settlement for your workers' compensation case.

Third Party Liability Lawsuits
Under laws governing the BWC system, you cannot sue your employer for additional damages if you file a workers' compensation claim. Many workplace accidents that result in severe injuries are the result of negligence on a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or subcontractor working on site.
