Protecting Injured Workers’ Rights
The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm: Standing Up for Ohio Workers
A work injury is more than a workplace accident—it is a disruption to your livelihood, your health, and your family’s stability. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm is committed to protecting the rights of injured workers across Ohio when those injuries occur on the job or as a result of unsafe working conditions.
Employers and insurance carriers often view work injuries as financial liabilities. We view them as human events that demand accountability. Whether your injury occurred suddenly in a catastrophic accident or developed over time through repetitive labor or exposure, we act as relentless advocates to ensure your rights are enforced and your future is protected.
Work injuries commonly involve:
- Falls, machinery, and industrial accidents
- Back, spinal cord, and traumatic brain injuries
- Crush injuries, amputations, and orthopedic trauma
- Repetitive stress injuries and occupational diseases
- Permanent disability preventing a return to work
When your ability to earn a living is threatened, The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm fights to make sure the system works for you—not against you.
Ohio Work Injury & Workers’ Compensation Advocacy
Enforcing Ohio Workers’ Compensation Protections
Ohio law provides injured workers with rights under the state’s workers’ compensation system, but those rights are frequently challenged, delayed, or denied. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm aggressively enforces these protections, ensuring injured workers receive medical treatment, wage replacement, and disability benefits to which they are entitled.
While workers’ compensation is designed to be a no-fault system, employers and insurers routinely dispute claims, question causation, and minimize the severity of injuries. We do not allow bureaucratic obstacles or insurance tactics to strip injured workers of their lawful benefits.
Deadlines, Notice, and Claim Preservation
Strict deadlines govern work injury claims. Missing a filing or notice requirement can permanently destroy your claim, even when the injury is legitimate. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm ensures:
We step in early to prevent technical missteps from costing our clients their rights.
Proving Compensable Injuries & Occupational Disease
Employers often argue that an injury is “pre-existing” or “not work-related.” We challenge those defenses. The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm builds strong, evidence-driven cases to establish that:
Securing Disability Benefits
When injuries permanently limit a worker’s ability to earn income, we fight for full disability compensation, including:
We pursue the highest level of benefits supported by the medical and vocational evidence—without compromise.
