Have you recently been injured on the job? Did your boss deny your accident report or lay you off in regards to your injury? If so, this is illegal, and you have the right to sue for reasonable compensation. Although it is easier said than done, let’s go over the process.
I Want to Sue My Employer/Job/Boss
If you have recently suffered an injury at work that has caused you physical or life-threatening injuries, you need a worker’s compensation attorney. Sometimes we may accidentally trip while walking down the hallway or have suffered from short-term injuries at work in the past. These work-related injuries usually don’t warrant paid time off or a worker’s compensation claim. Although, if you have suffered from an injury where you must seek medical attention right away and need to take time off work, then you are entitled to sue if something goes wrong with your employer/job/boss.
• In Ohio, a worker who suffers a total but temporary injury can receive wage loss benefits equal to 72% of their average pre-injury wages.
• After 12 weeks, your worker’s compensation benefits in Ohio will be two-thirds of your pre-injury wages.
• Ohio’s “Wage Loss Benefits” also helps those who can still work after suffering a work injury but on a limited basis. Meaning, you can’t do your normal job because of your workplace injury or occupational disease but can work in some capacity.
Did You Know That Your Employer Must Have Worker’s Compensation Insurance?
If your employer does not have worker’s comp insurance, it is against the law. Look on the bright side, you can still call our workers compensation attorney Mike Warren in Chillicothe Ohio, and we can make them pay. For the record, the injured worker must be an employee of that said company when reaching out to us. We will also need to verify that the injury or illness was indeed work-related.
Ohio Workers’ Comp Provides Many Benefits to Injured Workers and Their Survivors
Most people have general knowledge that workers’ comp will pay for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment and loss wages. Although it may also include:
• Rehabilitation
• Living Maintenance
• Mileage Reimbursement
• Survivor Benefits
• Funeral Expenses
