If you suffer an injury at work, you have the right to file for workers compensation benefits without representation. While simple “medical only” claims are often approved quickly, the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (the Bureau) makes certain to contest complex claims. If the Bureau contests your claim, having a Columbus workers compensation attorney to help you and provide valuable legal counsel is critical. The reasons you need an attorney are many and varied; here are a few of the most important:
- The law is complicated. The Ohio workers compensation law requires you to fill out certain forms and obey certain time limits. Without an attorney to guide you, things can be confusing. More importantly, if you do not file your paperwork properly, the board could deny your claim and you could lose your benefits.
- Your employer wants to save money. Employers want to reduce their insurance premiums. You may have an employer’s representative offer to help you, but they are not interested in helping you get the benefits you deserve.
- The Bureau of Workers Compensation is not on your side. The Bureau is looking to save money. You cannot rely on them to explain your rights to you.
The bottom line is that a Columbus workers compensation lawyer advocates for you and only you.
Do not trust the Bureau or your employer to advocate for you; let a Columbus workers comp attorney from Larrimer & Larrimer, LLC advocate for your benefit. You will never be just a number, and you can count on us for the support you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation.
