In Ohio, injuries sustained outside the workplace may be covered by workers' comp. It depends on the specific circumstances of the case.

In Ohio, workers' comp is a type of insurance that was created by the state to protect workers who are injured or sick due to their job. 

The system is designed to support injured workers, but, it does not cover every accident or every person.

Workers suffering from repetitive strain injuries must meet several legal criteria to qualify for workers' compensation.
