Workers’ Compensation
We take workers’ compensation seriously, because we understand the impact that workers’ compensation costs have on a company’s bottom line. A single claim can cost
a self-insured employer hundreds of thousands of dollars or force a small
state-funded employer out of group rating. We also know that a troublesome
claim can translate into a human resources headache, particularly when the
claim involves other laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Our workers’ compensation attorneys are
certified as “specialists” by the Ohio State Bar Association and recognized as leaders
in the field. Our aggressive approach to workers’ compensation claims management has won a loyal following from clients of all sizes, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses.
​
We represent state-funded, self-insured and public employers before the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC), the Industrial Commission of Ohio (ICO) and all Ohio courts. Our expertise includes representing and defending employers in the following areas:
