Workers' Compensation

Experienced Workers' Compensation Lawyer

The workers' compensation system in Ohio is designed to help people who are injured at work or suffer an occupational illness. However, many people who have valid worker's compensation claims are denied benefits because they made a mistake in the application process. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer can help you avoid the mistakes and make a fair recovery.

My background as a former Licking County assistant prosecutor helps me be a zealous advocate for injured workers. I represent people who suffer all types of workplace injuries, including loading dock injuries, construction accidents, industrial accidents, and fatal workplace accidents.

Third party claims

There are many reasons why you should consult a lawyer if you have been injured at work. Sometimes a workers' compensation case is also a personal injury case. If you are injured by a third party at work (someone other than your employer), you may also have a personal injury claim against that person. For example, if you are injured by a subcontractor at a construction site, your lawyer can pursue a personal injury claim against the subcontractor in addition to your workers' compensation claim. If your employer shows reckless disregard for safety procedures, you may also have a personal injury claim against your employer.

If you are the victim of a workplace injury, you should contact an attorney who understands both workers' compensation law and personal injury law. Contact me today to find out how I can help you.

I handle all personal injury and workers' compensation cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not pay attorneys’ fees unless I recover money for you. If I am not able to make a recovery, you will not have to pay me anything.
