Workers' Compensation

Workers compensation is a creature of statute. That is it exists because the Ohio Legislature in 1921 enacted it in order to ameliorate the harsh effects of negligence law. It is a no fault system. It doesn't matter if the employer was negligent or whether the employee was careless. The only important questions are:

Is there an employer - employee relationship?
Was the employee injured in the course and scope of his employment?

Once these two (2) criteria have been met and assuming there are no statute of limitations problems, the injured worker is entitled to various benefits depending on the facts of his or her claim. These can include:

Medical payments
Prescription payments
Lost Wages (TTD)
Almost pain & suffering (PPD)
Permanent Total Disability
Scheduled Losses
Settlement of the claim

It takes an attorney that has handled hundreds, if not thousands of these types of claims to understand the intricacies of the administrative process and how to enhance benefits. Taubman Law has handled thousands of these claims and has made Workers Compensation law in the Ohio Supreme Court. In addition, Taubman Law does not abandon its clients if the workers' compensation claim ultimately ends up in court. Our trial skills honed from trying medical mal-practice and personal injury cases over the last 32 years serves the injured worker well for getting either his claim allowed at trial or the settlement to which he or she is entitled.
