A skilled Ohio workers compensation lawyer can assist you in the process and make sure everything is done correctly.
What should you do if you are injured at work?

Are there any consequences for filing a worker’s compensation claim?
Some who suffer injuries at work are concerned that pursuing a workers compensation claim could result in a loss of employment or other consequences. Fortunately, the law prohibits employers from taking adverse action against an employee who files a workers compensation claim.
If your workers compensation claim is successful, you will receive funds to help you get by as you recover from your injuries. Workers compensation payments are intended to help ensure that you receive your wages and relief from medical expenses. This will allow you to recuperate and hopefully return back to work.
