Handling Every Aspect of Your Claim
At Brian Law Offices, we understand how important your workers' compensation benefits are. We also know that right now, you should be resting and recovering from your injury, not dealing with your employer or the legal aspects of your work injury. Contact our firm if you or a loved one has suffered a sudden traumatic injury such as a slip-and-fall injury, an occupational disease or condition such as asbestosis or mesothelioma, or a death in the workplace. We will take over the paperwork, identify all legal claims that may pertain to your case and manage every legal aspect of your injury.
While many lawyers outsource workers' compensation hearings to other attorneys, we personally represent our clients at their hearings.
Depending on the circumstances of your unique case, our experienced attorneys and staff can help you and your family pursue compensation for:
- Wage loss
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Permanent total disability
- Temporary total disability
- Permanent partial disability

Workers' Compensation in Ohio
There are a few unique aspects of how workers' compensation claims are handled in the state of Ohio. Workers' compensation is a state-funded system governed by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). We also have self-insured employers in Ohio, which means it is up to the employers to follow the state's rules. This can make filing a workers' compensation claim challenging for an injured worker. Often, injured employees do not receive the full extent of benefits to which they are entitled, and the responsibility to pursue these benefits lies with the injured and their legal counsel.
Our legal team is experienced in handling workers' compensation claims for many different types of employees, including construction workers, manufacturing workers, production workers, office workers, health care employees, restaurant workers and many more.
You may be entitled to additional compensation through a personal injury claim if your workplace injury:
- Was caused by a negligent third party
- Was caused by a defective product
- Resulted from your employer putting you in a known dangerous situation
