Workers’ Compensation Attorneys Based in Columbus, Ohio – Serving All of Ohio

Most Ohio employers are required to provide workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. In exchange, workers relinquish their right to sue their employer. In lieu of a work injury lawsuit, the employee is supposed to be taken care of by their employer and the workers’ compensation system following an injury – without utilizing the courts. Navigating this complex system in Columbus and across Ohio requires specialized legal expertise.

Unfortunately, many injured workers are denied workers’ comp benefits every year, and the reasons can vary. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation may deny an injury claim, or an employer may try to avoid paying. In these situations, turning to a skilled workers’ comp lawyer is often your best chance of securing compensation.

The Donahey Law Firm is an experienced work injury law firm that’s prepared to fight for your benefits. Our experienced workplace injury lawyers have a proven track record in workers’ rights cases of all sizes, resulting in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.

Work Injury Lawyers

Our Columbus attorneys handle a variety of accident types, including:

Burn Injury

Burn injuries can result in expensive medical bills, permanent scarring, and disabilities. They may also require extensive rehabilitation that leaves you unable to work for months at a time.

There are strict laws to protect construction workers from workplace injuries. If someone is hurt on the job site, their employer must be held liable.

Accidents caused by falling objects, toxic exposure, and electrocution are a few examples of industrial accidents. These accidents can prevent a victim from working for a long period of time and cause severe injuries, or even death.

If you are injured on the job, be sure to consult with one of our attorneys before you are offered a settlement or denied the money you deserve. Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Columbus, Ohio will examine all of the factors at play and the resulting effects of your injuries to help you earn every penny that you deserve.

Any workplace injury, no matter how serious, is a substantial concern. An injured employee and his or her family may suddenly face high medical bills, lost wages, frustration with available medical treatments, and mental and emotional distress.

When Should You Hire an Ohio Workers’ Compensation Attorney?

When you are injured on the job, or fall ill as a result of your employment, workers’ compensation insurance is supposed to provide a financial umbrella while you take time off to recover. However, at times, you will need a workers’ comp lawyer on your side to ensure you get the benefits you are entitled to. Some examples of these situations include:

  • You are unable to get necessary medical treatment.
  • Your employer claims you were not injured while working/on the job.
  • An insurance adjuster promises care or benefits that are never provided.
  • The insurance carrier has denied you benefits.
  • You are not being paid.
  • The insurance company’s attorney wants you to take a deposition.

Speak With an Ohio Workers’ Compensation Attorney

At The Donahey Law Firm, our Ohio workers’ compensation attorneys do more than fight for your rights to collect workers’ compensation benefits. We scrutinize your job-related accident and the workers’ compensation law to determine whether there is an opportunity to bring in a third-party claim.

In a third-party workers’ compensation claim, the injured worker has the right to sue a party for causing or contributing to the accident. Third-party lawsuits are common in construction accidents because there are usually a large number of parties on the job site, aside from the victim’s employer.

Third-party claims are often brought against:

  • Contractors/General Contractors/Subcontractors
  • Property Owners
  • Safety Device and Equipment Manufacturers
