Claims may be filed by an injured worker, employer, workers compensation lawyer, doctor or managed care organization ("MCO").

Ohio workers' compensation ("work comp") is occupational insurance. If your injury is covered, your medical bills may be paid and you may be paid cash for lost wages and disability for conditions caused by the work injury.

What is Vocational Rehabilitation?

Vocational rehabilitation ("voc rehab") is the process of restoring the vocational functioning of an Ohio worker who experiences an on the job injury or occupational disease and who voluntarily agrees to participate in vocational rehabilitation. (OAC 4123-18-03.)

How does one get into a Vocational Rehabilitation program?

Many workers compensation claims are handled without the help of a Cincinnati workers' compensation attorney. If you cut your finger, burn your hand, or sprain your ankle at work, and the injury fully and quickly heals, there there may be no reason to get a work comp lawyer involved with the claim. However, if you herniate a disc, lose a limb, or suffer a rotator cuff tear (or other serious injury) on the job, having a Cincinnati work comp lawyer handle your claim has significant advantages.
