What Is Workers’ Compensation?

Workers’ compensation is a form of insurance that replaces wages and medical benefits following an on-the-job injury. In exchange for receiving these benefits, the worker surrenders their right to sue the employer for any sort of negligence. Workers’ Compensation covers many different types of injuries that employees receive while on the job. This includes injuries received from machines, falls, lifting, pulling, pushing, driving, occupational diseases such as carpal tunnel, and potentially psychological disorders caused while on the job, as well as many more. Pre-existing conditions worsened by the job and damages caused by a third party also qualify. At Pencheff and Fraley LPA, we are skilled in obtaining your benefits, regardless of how you were injured. For excellent representation in Ohio workers’ compensation contact us today.

What to Do if You Injure Yourself on the Job

If you are injured on the job, you should do a few things to protect yourself. First, notify your supervisor immediately. They will likely have an incident report for you to fill out. If your injury is an emergency, then you should seek medical treatment before filling out paperwork. NOTICE, Ohio has recently changed the Statute of Limitations for workplace injuries. Next, you want to hire Pencheff and Fraley LPA to ensure your claim is properly filled out and accepted.
