If your workers’ comp claim is denied, the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) will send a letter explaining the reason for your rejection.

People who have suffered an injury at work often hesitate to file a workers’ compensation claim out of fear that they will lose their jobs. It is illegal for an employer to fire, demote or discriminate against an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. Your employer cannot retaliate against you nor fire you.

Under Ohio law, it is an employer’s duty to provide a safe working environment. Therefore, they must adhere to all state-imposed safety requirements. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable for an employer violation of specific safety requirement (VSSR). With a VSSR, an injured employee may be able to claim an additional 15 to 50 percent of Ohio’s maximum weekly compensation rate in addition to their regular workers’ compensation benefits.
