Workers Compensation Settlements

The workers compensation attorneys at the Cincinnati law firm of Clements, Mahin & Cohen, L.P.A., Co. understand the angst you feel if you have suffered an injury at your workplace or a job related illness. Aside from the physical pain you have to bear and the frustration of not being able to go to work, you have to deal with the very real loss of wages. Our committed attorneys will aggressively work to move your workers compensation claim through the legal process so you can receive your settlement as quickly as possible.

What You Need To Do

Although you may be inundated with taking care of your illness or injury, in order to make sure you start to receive your workers compensation benefits quickly there are a few important things you must do as soon as possible and they are:

• Immediately after you have sustained your injury, or learn about your workplace illness, you need to notify your employer.
• Completely fill out the claim forms and return them to your employer who will then forward them to the insurance company providing the workers compensation insurance. Any missing information will delay the processing of your claim.
• Medical proof of the injury is required so seeing a health professional is vital to pushing your claim through the system. State workers compensation law is designed to promote payment of benefits to the injured employee as quickly as possible so the employee does not incur any additional suffering.

Once all of the paperwork has been submitted and upon its review by the insurance company weekly benefit payments will be made directly to the employee. Workers compensation benefits will end only after the employee has resumed work or on one month’s notice of the employee having been let go from his job.

You’ve suffered enough both physically and emotionally. You need to focus on your recovery. Put the legal work in the hands of seasoned workers compensation attorneys who know the workers compensation settlement process and will stay on top your claim until you start receiving your weekly benefits. The skilled attorneys at Clements, Mahin & Cohen will use our comprehensive knowledge of the law to get your benefit checks in the mail promptly.
