Workers' Compensation and Disability Retirement Attorneys Columbus, Ohio
At the Law Office of Zamora & Hogan Co., L.P.A., our Ohio worker's compensation lawyers have extensive qualifications that set us apart from other firms in the area. Our attorneys will level the playing field for you, having successfully argued cases before the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Industrial Commission of Ohio, Ohio Courts of Common Pleas, Ohio Courts of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Each year, thousands of workers' comp claims are filed with the Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation. These claims may involve lost-time, Medical-only, Occupational disease or Death. Obtaining medical treatment and appropriate types of compensation should be an injured worker’s clear right in Columbus after an industrial accident. Yet, many injured Ohio employees endure delays and denials because their claims are opposed by their employers or by the BWC. At the end of each fiscal year, hundreds of thousands of claims are left open.

We use our knowledge and experience to assess your situation and develop a proactive plan to make sure your claim is not one of the thousands of claims that are denied or dismissed. The Ohio BWC has the state fund to protect, and your employer has its own financial interests to protect, so they do everything they can to make sure that you do not get compensated. Our office understands your situation and we actively prosecute your case to the fullest extent of the law. Our sole job is to protect your interests. Contact us today!
