Third-Party Claims in Northeast Ohio

If you were injured at work, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) system protects both you and your employer from having to go through the rigors of a drawn-out lawsuit. In most cases, injured workers will not be able to bring a lawsuit against their employers, even if negligence on the part of the employer or a co-worker caused the accident. The exception is when someone other than your employer or a co-worker caused or contributed to the accident that resulted in your injuries. If the circumstances surrounding your accident involved a third party, our experience as attorneys can help you pursue a personal injury or third-party claim for compensation.
