Navigating the workers’ compensation administrative system can be tricky. At the law offices of Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, I deal with Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) and Managed Care Organization (MCO) so you don’t have to. You focus on recovery, I’ll take it from here.
NORTHEAST OHIO WORK ACCIDENT CLAIM LAWYER
I always have my clients’ best interests at heart. When tenacity is needed to enforce my clients’ rights to treatment and compensation, I work aggressively to ensure their needs are met. However, if my clients are better served by settlement, I take a measured approach to get the job done while preserving my clients’ work relationship with their employer.
I do what is necessary to get my clients the wage loss and disability compensation they are entitled to, and the medical treatment and benefits they need to get healthy.
I also represent clients who have been injured in a serious workplace accident or due to an employer’s violation of safety regulation. In these cases, injured workers are entitled to additional compensation above-and-beyond Ohio’s state-mandated workers’ compensation.
REPRESENTING INJURED WORKERS AT HEARINGS
Many times it is necessary to go to an administrative hearing before the Ohio Industrial Commission to enforce your compensation rights. These hearings can be intimidating – many people are questioned about the extent of their injuries and feel their credibility is under attack. That is why it is best to work with an attorney who knows how to navigate the administrative process.
I have been representing injured employees’ workers’ compensation claims for more than 20 years at countless hearings. I know the law, I know what you are entitled to, and I will speak on your behalf to get you the benefits you need to recover from your injury and stay financially afloat.
At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, I have successfully represented injured workers at administrative hearings, the common court of pleas, as well as appealing state determinations of compensation.
Contact me, a northeast Ohio workers’ comp lawyer, today to get the medical treatment and compensation you need to recover from your injury and move forward with your life.
FULL AND FINAL SETTLEMENTS FOR OHIO WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS
After suffering a work-related injury, many people simply want to recover and get back on the job. When pursuing workers’ compensation benefits, injured individuals in northeast Ohio and throughout the state can accept either structured payments or a lump sum settlement. At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, I understand that deciding on the best course of action can be difficult. To simplify the process and ensure that you receive compensation as quickly as possible, I will help you pursue a full and final settlement for your claim should it be in your best interests.
THE BENEFITS OF SETTLING AN OHIO WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM
Depending on the circumstances of your injuries, it may be in your best interests to reach a lump sum settlement agreement for your workers’ compensation claim. Although a full and final settlement may not be the right choice for everyone, things to consider include:
• A settlement offers a guaranteed benefit. This is important to consider if your injuries are incredibly serious or life-threatening as a workers’ compensation claim expires upon your death.
• If your claim has stalled and has had little activity, it may be in your best interests to pursue a lump sum settlement to ensure that you receive compensation.
• You may give up your right to future compensation if you take a lump sum settlement. As your lawyer, I can explain how this will affect your situation.
• A workers’ compensation claim can be obtained as an indemnity only settlement. This means that your medical claim can remain open even if you settle. In such cases, a settlement offer may be reduced to compensate for the medical component of the claim. I will explain the implications of a settlement as they pertain to injured individuals who are Medicare-eligible.
