Ohio Workers’ Compensation – Not User Friendly!

Although the BWC system was created to allow injured workers to request coverage for work injuries without the need of legal services, the system has become a nightmare of red tape and denials.

Over 90% of the hearings we attend on behalf of our clients result from the BWC denying the injured worker’s doctor;s request for treatment authorization.

If you are injured on the job, you should obtain legal representation to protect your legal right to medical care and injury compensation.

Contact us anytime for a no obligation consultation regarding your injury claim.

Contact the governor of Ohio and tell him to fix the system that was created to protect Ohio’s injured workers. He needs to replace the current BWC Administrator with one who did not come from the insurance industry where the top goal is to save money and increase premiums.

Ohio Workers need to unite and tell the Governor that Ohio Wokrers’ Compensation needs to be fixed NOW to benefit Ohio’s Injured Work Force.

Contact the Governor NOW! Let him know you are not going to let him continue in office until he repairs the system he pledged to fix when he first ran for office.

Ohio Permanent Total Disability Recipients – No DWRF Increase for 2010

DWRF Annual Adjustment

Due to a drop in the Consumer Price Index there will not be an increase in DWRF benefits this year.  For most injured workers there will be no change in DWRF benefits.  DWRF benefits may be impacted by changes in the amount of social security disability benefits that the IW receives.  Letters were sent to injured workers, employers and their representatives regarding this issue.
