If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance and you are hurt on the job, you should receive compensation to make up for lost wages while you recover from your injury.
However, if your workers’ compensation claim does not proceed like it should, a Cincinnati workers’ compensation lawyer may be able to obtain the compensation that you are entitled. At O’Connor, Acciani & Levy, our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means you do not owe us any legal fees unless we obtain a favorable verdict or settlement.
Contact our personal injury attorneys to set up a 100 percent free consultation to review your claim with our experienced attorneys.
There are a wide variety of injuries that give rise to workers’ compensation claims, including:
There are certain industries where workers are at higher risk of suffering these kinds of injuries, particularly those where workers are very physically active or are required to operate heavy equipment, such as:
If you work in any of these industries and have been injured, you may have a valid workers’ compensation claim.
The injury could have been the result of one accident or repetitive actions that cause an injury over time. You may also be able to pursue compensation if work activities aggravated a preexisting health problem.
Our Cincinnati work injury lawyers will carefully review your claim to see if you are entitled to workers’ compensation. If you have a valid claim, we will guide you through every step in the process.
If you are injured at work, you might think that you are entitled to workers’ compensation. However, your claim could be fully or partially denied by the Ohio Bureau of Worker’s Compensation (BWC) for various reasons:
If the BWC denies your claim for these or other reasons, you have 14 days from the date of the BWC Order to appeal the decision to the Industrial Commission of Ohio. You can complete an online form through the Industrial Commission Online Network or by filling out the written form, Notice of Appeal – IC-12.
The Industrial Commission will set up a District Level Hearing within 45 days of your appeal request. An Officer of the Commission will review written witness affidavits and deposition transcripts. Also, you and your employer, or its insurance company, can call witnesses to testify.
After the officer makes a decision, you or your employer can appeal it at the staff level. If either party is unhappy with the decision at this level, they can appeal to the commission level. However, the commission could decide not to hear the appeal.
If your workers’ compensation claim is denied and you want to appeal, you should strongly consider having legal representation from a skilled lawyer in Cincinnati.
A workmen compensation lawyer at O’Connor, Acciani & Levy will thoroughly investigate your claim to make sure you present a strong case at each of your appeal hearings.
We have extensive knowledge of workers’ compensation laws in Ohio and are prepared for the strategies employed by employers and insurance companies to deny fair compensation.
