Ohio Workers Compensation Information

NO FEE CONSULTATION FORM

Ohio's Workers Compensation laws provide a system of compensation for any employee who has been injured in the course of their employment, or suffers from an occupational disease developed in the course of their employment.  The system also provides compensation to family members if an employee is killed due to a job related activity.

Almost every employee, and all employers must participate in the Ohio Workers Compensation system.  Most employers participate in the State Insurance fund by paying premiums.  An employers premium is determined by several factors including the total amount of payroll, job classification (risk of injury), and risk history of the employer.  Certain large employers, with specific qualifications, may insure themselves, but are responsible for compensating an employee if any job related injury, or occupational disease occurs.

If your are injured, or suffer an occupational disease as a result of any job related activity you may be entitled to any of several forms of compensation.  These include:

• Medical Bills - All medical costs resulting from a qualified injury will be paid. 
• Wage Loss - A portion of any lost wages, or reduction in wages may be compensated.
• Disability - An employee may be compensated for any permanent physical disability resulting from a qualified injury or occupational disease.
