Workers Compensation

Columbus Workers Compensation Lawyers

Most Ohio employers are required to provide workers' compensation insurance for their employees. In exchange, workers generally relinquish their right to sue their employer. In lieu of a work injury lawsuit, the injured worker is supposed to be taken care of by his or her employer and Ohio's workers' comp system - without using the courts.

Unfortunately, many injured workers are denied workers' comp benefits every year. The reasons can vary: The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation denies the injury claim or the employer tries to avoid paying. When these situations occur, the injured employee is usually in a vulnerable position and needs the help of a skilled columbus work injury lawyer.

At The Donahey Law Firm, our workers' compensation attorneys will fight for your benefits. In addition to workers' comp benefits, we explore other opportunities on our clients' behalf, including product liability claims and third-party injury lawsuits. To obtain a free consultation about your options, call us at 866-918-5886 or email us.

How frequently does your firm use mediation, arbitration, or collaborative law to resolve cases?

We often use mediation procedures to try to resolve a case before trial. This helps us understand the defenses posed by our opponents and better prepares us for trial.
