Don’t you want the hidden money in your BWC claims?  I can’t believe that because I talk to and see many new injury inquirers each week and when I check their older OhioBWC claims in the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Comp database, I discover that they had claims which have expired.  The claims expired and the money is gone because the injured worker did not know that he/she was entitled to obtain the injury money and/or lump sum settlement.  The look on their faces tells the whole story – they feel cheated. Interested in getting the money that’s just sitting in your older Ohio BWC claim?  Then read on . . . . Read the rest of this entry »

Ohio Workers’ Comp Settlements – Is it the Right Move for You?

Ohio Workers’ Compensation Lump Sum Settlement – Should you ‘cash out’ your claim? Is that the right move to make?

If you have an allowed OhioBWC claim, you are eligible to seek workers’ compensation benefits. You might be contacted by the employer or the employer’s representative with a lump sum settlement offer. You might be tempted to take a lump sum cash payout instead of getting biweekly payments based on your full weekly wage / average weekly wage and payment of medical and prescription bills.

In order to determine if a lump sum settlement is in your best interest, you have to understand all of the options available to you under your Ohio Workers’ Compensation claim. In order to get the information you need, you should seek the advice of a Board Certified Ohio Workers’ Compensation Specialist Attorney. Taking a lump sum payment to close your claim without the advice of a specialist is the wrong move and can lead to financial and medical disaster.

The advice and knowledge of a Board Certified Specialist Attorney is critically important.  You should ask for your free no obligation consultation with Mike Gruhin.

Understand how to maximize OhioBWC benefits before you settle your claim.  Learn that settlement closes out all future compensation benefits, that’s money for you and payment of your medical expenses.

Sometimes a settlement is not in your best interest. Don’t let a big dollar settlement offer tempt you to close your claim without understanding the future value of your claim. Your employer or its attorneys know the future value of the claim and that’s why they act to close out your claim.

You need a Board Certified Specialist Attorney to help you get through the legal maze and understand the legal mumbo jumbo.  Don’t be fooled.  You need a specialist representing your legal interests and helping you understand what the right decision might be for your unique situation.

You have questions, Mike Gruhin has the answers. Contact us today to find out what your rights are and get the peace of mind you need.

Can This Be Happening in Ohio? – OUTRAGEOUS Settlement Requirement

VN:F [1.9.13_1145]
Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

“should any part of . . . my settlement or this agreement be challenged and found to be unconstitutional, unlawful, or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the settlement and this acknowledgement and waiver shall remain in full force and effect.”

My fingers are buring  as I type this entry. I am outraged by the current actions of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation – not only in the recent low-balling of lump sum settlement top offers, but , insult on injury, requiring Ohio Injured Workers to sign the attached document.
