Cleveland's economy spans healthcare, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and the service industries across Cuyahoga County. The Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals healthcare systems, manufacturing along the Cuyahoga industrial corridor, construction across the metro, and logistics and port operations put workers at risk every day. Ohio's workers compensation system provides baseline protections, but insurers often use delay, denial, and dispute tactics to minimize claims. Your employer and their insurer are not on your side. TopDog is. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
Cleveland's healthcare campuses, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, and logistics operations across Cuyahoga County see serious workplace injuries every year. Our office on East 9th Street is in the heart of downtown Cleveland, close to the East Side neighborhoods where many of our clients live and work. We know the industries where our clients work and the tactics used to minimize claims. Those accidents cause real damage to Cleveland families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Your employer's insurance company across Cuyahoga County may use delay, deny, and lowball tactics to protect your employer — not you. They dispute injuries, delay approvals, and look for any reason to cut off your benefits. We know how to leverage the justice system in the Ohio Industrial Commission and in civil courts to fight back. And if a third party contributed to your injury, we pursue that claim too.
IMPORTANT OHIO LEGAL INFORMATION — WORKERS COMPENSATION
Notice Requirement: Report your work injury to your employer immediately.
Filing Deadline: 1 year from the date of injury to file a workers compensation claim.
Third-Party Claims: If a third party — contractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner — contributed to your injury, a separate personal injury lawsuit is available with significantly higher recovery potential.
No-Fault Benefits: Covers medical, wage replacement, and vocational rehabilitation. Does not cover pain and suffering.
Retaliation Prohibited: Ohio law prohibits employer retaliation for filing workers comp claims.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
Insurance companies and Ohio BWC may use delay, deny, and dispute tactics to minimize claims. Workers comp covers the basics — but a third-party claim can include pain and suffering and result in significantly higher recovery. TopDog Law and its co-counsel evaluate both.
Workers Compensation | $25,088 avg | $215,000+ highest Note: Third-party claims can result in significantly higher recoveries.
