Workers’ compensation is an ever-changing landscape that hinges on the latest court decisions and constantly evolving statues. Its practitioners need to be ever-vigilant for the latest developments at the state and federal levels as well as an appreciation of how the laws apply to a veritable universe of different industries.

Most people understand that, when they are injured at work, they receive compensation for medical bills and lost time. But many injured workers do not know that workers’ compensation pays nothing for pain, suffering and emotional distress. Nor will workers’ compensation ask a reckless employer to pay for its conduct unless that employer violates a written Ohio safety rule.

Since workers’ compensation fails to fully compensate the injured worker, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the facts to see if a lawsuit against a third party, an intentional tort or a safety violation claim can be pursued.
