Ohio employees who get injured at work are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Workers' comp is an insurance program that pays for your medical bills and lost wages while you're recovering. The free advice and resources below break down the workers' comp process in The Buckeye State so you can focus on getting better and getting on with your life.

Many people who think they wouldn’t qualify for workers’ comp actually do, especially when they have a lawyer to help them apply. Here’s how workers’ comp works in Ohio.
Your workers’ comp settlement amount will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of your injury, future income you could lose because of your injury, and the cost of any future medical treatment.
At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.
There’s no disclaimer here: Atticus is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.
Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
