Serving Ohio's Injured Workers since 1993 

How It Works

When a worker is hurt, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against an employer.  Lawsuits against the employer are usually not allowed. Two types of compensation are generally allowed:  medical benefits and disability payments for lost earnings and physical impairment.  The Ohio Workers Compensation Act does not pay for pain and suffering.

It is a good idea to report the injury to your employer and seek immediate medical treatment.  When a worker is injured, he or she files a claim with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.  This begins an informal investigative process by a BWC claims examiner.

Many times, the claim will be contested and a more formal proceeding begins before the Industrial Commission of Ohio.  Once the Industrial Commission reaches a decision, It may -- under some circumstances -- be possible to pursue further appeal through the judicial system of Ohio.
