Workers' Compensation and Disability Retirement Attorneys

Certified Specialist in Ohio Workman's Comp

Suffering a work injury or contracting an occupational disease can be a devastating experience and, worse, destroy a person's life. Obtaining medical treatment and compensation should be a clear right after an industrial accident happens. Yet, many injured Ohioans endure delays and denials because their claims for benefits are opposed by their employers or by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation. All too often, simple and clear injuries are worsened due to denials of treatment or opposition to diagnostic testing. Other consequences include unnecessary periods of extended time off work and, in extreme cases, emotional distress and the development of psychological conditions.

At the Law Office of Charles Zamora Co., L.P.A., we use our knowledge and experience to assess your situation and develop a proactive plan to make sure you are able to obtain appropriate treatment and compensation. The Ohio BWC has the state fund to protect, and your employer has its own financial concerns to protect. Our office understands your situation better than the other parties in your case and we actively prosecute your case to the fullest extent of the law. Our sole job is to protect your interests.

Whether you have suffered an injury, contracted an occupational disease, or experienced the death of a family member as a result of an accident, we will navigate the system with you and ensure the BWC and/or self-insured employer follow the law with respect to your claim. There are many pitfalls that may jeopardize your workman's comp claim or benefits if you do not have an attorney. Employers have lawyers to protect their own interests. Charles Zamora was one of the first lawyers to become a certified specialist in the field of workman's compensation and our attorneys will level the playing field for you when your case is before the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Industrial Commission of Ohio, Ohio Courts of Common Pleas, Ohio Courts of Appeals, or the Supreme Court of Ohio.

Our attorneys represent only injured workers and claimants. We represent injured workers and their dependents before the BWC and Industrial Commission throughout the State of Ohio, and we attend hearings for clients in Dayton, Lima, Mansfield, Akron, Cambridge, Logan, Columbus, Portsmouth and Cincinnati.

Our attorneys also use their knowledge and experience to represent police officers and firefighters throughout the State of Ohio before the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund (OP&F), as well as members of the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). If you are a police officer injured in the course of your employment by a criminal, our attorneys are prepared to represent you in the pursuit of compensation under the Ohio Victims of Crime program administered by the Attorney General of Ohio.

We proudly represent law enforcement officers, police officers, and firefighters injured in the line of duty.
