Frequently Asked Questions

Workers compensation under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 4123 (current as of 2026) provides benefits to employees injured on the job including medical expenses, lost wages (disability benefits), permanent disability benefits, and death benefits for dependents. Workers compensation is a no-fault system, meaning employees can recover benefits regardless of fault. However, workers compensation generally limits recovery to workers compensation benefits and may not include full compensation for pain and suffering.
Generally, workers compensation is the exclusive remedy for workplace injuries in Ohio, meaning you cannot sue your employer for personal injury. However, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against third parties (not your employer) whose negligence caused your injury including contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, or other third parties. An attorney can help determine if you have a third-party claim.
Workers compensation benefits in Ohio may include medical expenses for treatment of work-related injuries, temporary total disability benefits (lost wages while unable to work), permanent partial disability benefits, permanent total disability benefits, death benefits for dependents, and vocational rehabilitation benefits. Benefits depend on injury severity and disability level.
Under Ohio Revised Code 4123.84, the statute of limitations for workers compensation claims in Ohio is generally 1 year from the date of injury or the date you knew or should have known the injury was work-related. Missing the deadline bars recovery, so it is crucial to act quickly and consult an attorney immediately.
While you can handle a workers compensation claim yourself, an experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of receiving benefits and maximizing compensation. Attorneys understand workers compensation law, can challenge denials, negotiate settlements, and represent you at hearings. Most attorneys work on a contingency fee basis.
