Fred’s background and experience make him a lawyer you want by your side if you’re denied workers’ comp or hurt by someone else’s negligence.
Other people and companies have a duty to be responsible for your safety. If their negligence leads to an accident and you get hurt, they should also be responsible for the suffering and costs you incur.
But the negligent party and their insurance company often resist doing what’s right for you. As an Ohio personal injury attorney, Fred Sommer negotiates with insurance companies on your behalf, gathers evidence you need, builds a legal strategy—and goes to court if that’s what it takes.
Receiving the proper compensation for your injuries makes it easier to put a painful chapter behind you and move on. Fred helps with car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, dog bites, injuries due to hazards on someone else’s property and more.
Get My Free Case ReviewAttorney Fred Sommer, right, helps people like workers’ compensation client Brian Syx recover from injuries and financial hardships.
If you’re an employee in Ohio, you’re most likely covered by workers’ compensation for any injury on the job. Workers’ comp benefits can be crucial to your recovery. They cover your medical treatment, pay for income you miss and more—helping you hold on to the life you worked so hard to build.
Your employer and the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC), however, don’t always make the process easy. They may try to save money for themselves instead of helping you. Fred Sommer is an Ohio work injury lawyer who deals with them for you.
An experienced work injury attorney knows what you’re entitled to receive, what your rights are under Ohio workers’ compensation law, how to build a strong claim for benefits, how to appeal a denial benefits—and how to navigate every aspect of the workers’ comp system so you get the support you deserve
