How Do You Get Workers' Compensation?

 Workers' Compensation and You

At the Badnell & Dick Company, you can count on us to get you the compensation you deserve. With over 20 years of experience, we have successfully assisted clients in negotiating benefit rates, ensuring unpaid medical bills get paid, cross-examine employer's witnesses who contradict the client's account of what happened and obtaining a judgment of permanency to compensate for future lost wages. 

If this situation sounds similar to something you are going through after an injury or illness sustained at work, you may qualify to open a workers' compensation case. Workers' compensation is a health benefit similar to health insurance that only goes into effect when an injury or illness is sustained as a result related to their job. The system has two main components where the employer will either pay the costs of medical care, or they will pay the client to replace their wages.

Under state law, all Ohioans, with few exceptions, have a right to this compensation system. The state law also holds all employers responsible for carrying a workers' compensation policy. All employees can receive workers' compensation if they sustain a job-related injury or illness as long as they are not found to be under the influence of any kind, fighting with another employee, or breaking company policies at the time of the incident. After the incident, employees are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately, file an incident report with the company, and then file a claim.

With us, you can ensure we will fight to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. It is better to seek an experienced attorney to help you navigate our tricky legal system than to go through yet another hardship.
