Types of Compensation
Gardner Law's workers' compensation attorneys assist clients in obtaining compensation for any type of on-the-job injury, including those that only require minimal time away from work, such as a broken bone or minor concussion. However, many injuries result in some level of disability, and Ohio state law covers the following:
Total disability: This includes situations where you experience a total loss of function, whether temporary or permanent. Partial disability: When you experience a total loss of function in a body part, such as your arms, legs, or an internal bodily function, it's considered a partial disability. You can experience temporary or permanent partial disability.
Our workers' compensation lawyers have an impressive track record of obtaining settlements to compensate injured workers for a range of workers' compensation benefits, including lost wages, reimbursement for therapy, and payment of medical bills. Workers' comp law provides compensation for both temporary and permanent wage loss. Our attorneys help injured workers obtain compensation for medical expenses and provide guidance through the process of obtaining additional allowances, such as vocational rehabilitation, to return to work or find a new job.
At Gardner Law, we understand the challenges that come with workplace injuries, and our experienced workers' compensation attorneys are committed to helping clients obtain the compensation they deserve.
