Understanding Your Rights After a Workplace Injury
As outlined by the Diocese of Cleveland in their informational resource “Workers’ Compensation,” the Workers’ Compensation Office oversees a range of functions critical to injured employees, including claims processing, medical and indemnity benefit payments, and hearings before the Industrial Commission.
For employees hurt on the job, understanding how the workers’ compensation process works is essential. This system is designed to provide financial and medical support to workers who suffer injuries or illnesses in the course of employment—regardless of fault. Administered at the state level, the process includes investigating the claim, ensuring proper documentation, and attending hearings if disputes arise.
