Helping Me, That's HNB

Financial Support to Maintain Your Life

When you get hurt at work, or you develop an illness because of harmful conditions at work, you need—and deserve—support.

All you did was show up every day and work hard. Now you’re stuck with new medical costs. If you can’t work, you’re losing the income you relied on to live. You feel vulnerable.

But if you’re an employee in Ohio, support is available.

Situations like yours are the reason workers’ compensation was invented. These benefits can make a major difference for you, letting you maintain the life you’ve known while you focus on your health.

But you may wonder, what do workers’ comp benefits pay for?

    What You Get with Workers’ Comp

    In Ohio, the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) oversees benefits for people injured on the job.

    Most employers get their coverage through the BWC. Some set aside money to insure themselves. But just about all employers with at least one employee must carry workers’ comp.

    Getting hurt on the job gives you access to these benefits:

    Getting this financial support can keep you afloat after a  job injury  suddenly alters your life.

    Workers’ comp was created to give you fast access to medical treatment and monetary help while protecting your employer from getting sued. It doesn’t consider whether anyone was at fault.

    One situation, however, lets you file a personal injury lawsuit to seek additional payment beyond workers’ comp: When someone outside your employer caused the accident.

    A lawyer can evaluate your case to make sure you get every one of the above benefits that applies to you—and to determine if you also have a personal injury claim.

    The HNB law firm can provide this evaluation for free.
