Helping Injured Health Care Workers In Northeast Ohio
It takes immense dedication and personal sacrifice to work in the health care industry. As a doctor, nurse or other health care worker, you are an everyday hero, devoting your career to healing and caring for others.
When you get hurt on the job, it’s our turn to help you. You deserve robust financial support and comprehensive medical care without the burden of financial stress. The Ohio Workers’ Compensation system is designed to provide you with these essential benefits.
Committed To Supporting Our Health Care Heroes
At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, we have been fighting for injured workers in the Akron and Cleveland areas since 1998. Our family-run firm is built on a passion for upholding the rights of the injured through personal, attentive representation. Our lawyers will personally handle your case and work hard to secure the workers’ compensation benefits you deserve.
Common Hazards In Health Care
Working in health care is rewarding, but it comes with its risks. Here are some of the common injuries and accidents that we see among health care workers, including doctors, nurses, CNAs, LPNs and nursing home aids:
- Back and neck injuries from lifting patients
- Slips, trips and falls
- Mental health disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Occupational illnesses from contagious diseases
- Injuries occurring while walking into or out of work, which may be grounds for a personal injury claim
While some injuries might seem straightforward, others – like injuries in parking lots and psychological disorders – can be more complicated. Our firm is equipped to determine the proper legal route for your claim. We want you to get full compensation, whether through the Ohio Workers’ Compensation system, a personal injury case or both.
