lawyer

Getting into a Cincinnati car wreck with any type of car or other automobile can present difficult legal situations. Dealing with a commercial insurance carrier can present an extra layer of complexity, particularly where the accident involves an individual who was working at the time of the crash. Determining who will pay the bills to fix the vehicles, who will pay the medical bills, and who will represent the persons involved, are just a few of the questions that will need to be answered for proper resolution of the situation. 

Choosing a lawyer after you have been involved in a car accident or work injury can be a very frustrating experience. Oftentimes injured persons are swamped with mail from lawyers seeking their business. One may also get advice from friends or family members who have dealt with a particular lawyer in the past. 

Following a work accident an injured employee may be hounded by collectors for outstanding balances with hospitals, doctors offices, physical therapy offices and more. In Ohio, if the injured employee has an allowed workers comp claim, those bills should be submitted to an MCO (managed care organization) or self-insured employer. 

Many of our clients first contact us after they get a notice that their BWC claim is set for a hearing at the Industrial Commission. We hear mostly from people who have hearings at the Cincinnati or Fairborn Industrial Commission office locations.

What Happens At an Industrial Commission Hearing?

Not all car accidents are equal in severity, and differ greatly in terms of injury. Sometimes we see auto accident cases with very little property damage yet serious injuries. Othertimes, we see serious car damage and relatively minor injuries. Some experts have opined that there is a loose correlation between property damage and injury. The insurance industry often relies strongly upon property damage in evaluating claims. Regardless of the severity of one's injuries, documentation is key.
