Recognized for Success in Workers' Compensation Cases
The attorneys of The Law Office of Weisser & Wolf are proud to be recognized by the Ohio State Bar Association as Ohio Workers' Compensation Specialists. This is an honor shared by only a very few attorneys, and is part of the reason that we say we are among Cincinnati's finest law firms. We have built a reputation over two decades for providing excellent service and effective representation for Ohio's injured workers.
A Constitutionally Protected Right
In many ways, workman's compensation laws in Ohio are unique. The laws protecting Ohio workers were written directly into the constitution, ensuring that people throughout the state would be able to rely on the protection of the law when they are injured on the job. Employers throughout the state pay directly into a statewide fund that protects both the employers and employees, ensuring the rights and benefits of both. Some of the state's largest employers opt out of this protection and choose to be self-insured.
Regardless, the laws of the state of Ohio and its protection of workers injured on the job apply to employers regardless of whether they are state-funded or self-insured. We hold the state and employers accountable, and will work to make sure that you get the compensation you need when you've been injured.
Our office is ready to assist you in matters of:
- Understanding when you have an injury covered by workers' compensation
- Collecting compensation when you've suffered a temporary or permanent total disability
- Settling your workers' compensation claim
- Recovering compensation when you are facing diminished wages
- Appeals for Social Security disability claim
- Violations of Specific Safety Requirements (VSSR)
Time Can Be of the Essence
It is important if you are injured on the job to quickly report it to your employer and seek medical treatment. Even if you don't choose to pursue a workers' compensation claim later, it is better to have clear documentation on the record, both with a medical professional and with your employer. Many injuries that may seem minor, or at least manageable at the time, can develop lasting and debilitating effects.
You can protect yourself and your family now and in the long term by consulting with our lawyers if you are uncertain how to proceed. We can work with you to make sure that your health, family and finances are protected when you are injured on the job.
