Another Court Victory for a Gruhin & Gruhin Client

Mar 2

Posted by Mike Gruhin in Workers' Compensation | No Comments

Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Once again, justice prevailed for an injured worker in Ohio. After a three day trial, the jury, in approximately one hour of deliberation, decided that our client was entitled to participate in the Ohio Workers’ Compensation Fund for his work related injury.

Our client was overjoyed with the outcome. He, like all of our clients, knows how hard Gruhin & Gruhin fights to win all of the money benefits and medical care necessary after a work accident.

If you’ve been injured on the job, give us a call. We are here to help the injured work force of Ohio.

Yesterday, I received a call from a prospective client regarding a workers’ compensation claim. This injured worker stated that the employer stated that it did not have any BWC coverage, so a claim should not be made.

Permanent Partial Disability – The Injury Award

Oct 27

Posted by Mike Gruhin in Workers' Compensation | No Comments

Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Pursuant to Ohio Law, if an injured worker does not apply for and receive his/her permanent partial disability award, the claim is considered medical only. For injuries that took place on or after October 25, 2006, amedical only claim terminates after 5 years, even if you are still in need of and/or undergoing active medical treatment. The same is true for claims that occurred prior to 10/25/06, but those medical only claims terminate 6 years after the date of injury. Don’t let your claim die !

Ohio BWC Medical Care Organizations (MCO) – what the heck are they?

Yesterday I got a call from a client informing me that he was called by his MCO and was told that he is putting his company out of business because, through our office, the client was awarded his permanent partial compensation benefit (the money for his injury). Imagine my surprise at such a conversation which was initiated by an entity whose only job is to oversee medical treatment authorizations and payment for such treatment.

My client felt bad about the call from the MCO until I explained who/what the MCO is/does. And why such information from the MCO is inaccurate.
