Paulozzi, Alkire & Condeni fought long and hard (understatement) for me to get the best outcome possible after my car accident. Joe Paulozzi and Amy Higgins were wonderful… dedicated, persevering, and honest. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.

Workers’ compensation benefits are meant to cover medical treatment, lost wages, and long-term care after a workplace injury. However, many injured workers struggle to receive what they are owed without legal help.
Available benefits may include:
Medical Coverage: Payment for hospital care, surgeries, medications, therapy, and rehabilitation.
Temporary Total Disability (TTD): Income replacement for workers unable to return to their job temporarily.
Permanent Partial Disability (PPD): Compensation for lasting impairment or loss of function.
Permanent Total Disability (PTD): Benefits for workers permanently unable to return to any form of employment.
Wage Loss Compensation: Payments for reduced earnings if you can only return to lower-paying work.
Vocational Rehabilitation: Job retraining or placement services for injured workers who cannot return to their previous position.
Death Benefits: Financial support for dependents of workers who die from a work-related injury or illness.
Our firm ensures that every eligible benefit is pursued and that unfair denials or delays are aggressively challenged.
Workers’ compensation law in Ohio is governed primarily by the Ohio Revised Code § 4123, which outlines strict timelines and rules for filing and appealing claims.
Filing Deadline – Under O.R.C. § 4123.84, workers must generally file a claim within one year of the date of injury or diagnosis of an occupational disease. Missing this deadline may permanently bar recovery.
No-Fault System – You do not need to prove your employer was negligent. If your injury occurred while performing work-related duties, you likely qualify for benefits.
Employer Immunity – In most cases, workers cannot sue their employers directly. Workers’ compensation is intended to replace litigation, but there may be exceptions involving intentional misconduct.
Third-Party Liability – If someone other than your employer, such as a contractor, subcontractor, or manufacturer, caused your injury, you may also pursue a personal injury claim for additional compensation.
Retaliation Protection – Ohio law prohibits employers from firing, demoting, or punishing employees for filing a legitimate workers’ compensation claim.
Strong evidence is the foundation of a successful workers’ compensation claim. Documentation helps prove that your injury occurred at work, that it was properly reported, and that it prevents you from performing your job duties.
