We make things in Ohio. Columbus has historically been a hub of industry and recently has seen a 31 percent increase in the manufacturing sector from 2001 to 2012. But making things can be dangerous. Sometimes making things comes with a price. In 2010 alone over 8700 Ohio workers were injured on the job.

How Do I Know if I’m Eligible for Workers’ Compensation?

In general workers’ compensation is an insurance program that reimburses employees for any lost work time or medical expenses resulting from workplace injuries. There are three basic ways to be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits:

  • The company you work for must carry workers’ compensation insurance
  • You must be an employee of that company
  • Your injury or illness must be work related
