Employers in a diverse array of industries choose and rely on our attorneys to counsel and defend them in matters related to workers’ compensation claims. We represent Ohio state-funded and self-insured companies in matters pertaining to premium rates, non-compliance or transferring risk experience. Our firm assists in maintaining self-insured privileges under Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia workers\u2019 compensation laws. Additionally, we frequently hold presentations and seminars for our clients and Third-Party Administrators (TPAs) regarding relevant and significant workers\u2019 compensation issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administrative Practice<\/summary>\n
\n

We counsel clients on investigation of claims and response to workplace hazards, as well as the administration of contested and non-contested claims to reduce workers\u2019 compensation costs. We advise and counsel our clients on safety standards and violations, inspections by the Bureau of Workers\u2019 Compensation when a violation of a safety standard is alleged, and compliance with state workers’ compensation rules and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When claims are filed, we advise our clients on length-of-disability, return-to-work issues and vocational retraining benefits. We also coordinate with outside experts to research medical issues and pre-existing conditions related to individual claims. Our proactive approach includes advising clients on preventative measures and best practices to avoid claims and providing onsite training when needed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Civil Litigation<\/summary>\n
\n

When matters go to hearing or to trial, we defend employers at the administrative level, trial court, appellate level and before the Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia Supreme Courts. In matters of policy, our attorneys are active in statewide and local bar associations and trade groups. Additionally, we collaborate with legislators and government agencies in connection with proposed legislation and agency regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
