A workplace injury occupational injury in Southern Ohio gives an individual the opportunity to apply for workers’ compensation benefits. Unfortunately, this process can often result in frustrating results, such as not receiving rightfully deserved benefits. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation challenges almost every claim that comes their way. At Barkan Meizlish DeRose Cox, LLP our workers compensation attorneys service southern and central Ohio. Our attorneys work hard to make sure you get the best possible result if you need to file a workers’ compensation claim.
As workers’ compensation lawyers our job is to ensure each client we collaborate with has the right information and answers every step of the way. We also commit to helping our clients pursue appeals of benefit denials and, when necessary, pursue your workers’ compensation benefits through filing into court.
Our workers’ compensation lawyers prioritize communication with our clients at every step of the claims and if necessary, appeals process. We will also prioritize making every deadline.

These providers, who are trusted by the Ohio workers’ compensation system, will diagnose and assess temporary disability and working ability and provide the corresponding paperwork.
Retaliation from an employer is a fear shared by many people pursing workers’ compensation claims. Workers’ comp lawyers with Barkan Meizlish DeRose Cox, LLP, have advised and represented employees who have fallen victim of a workplace accident or injury for more than 60 years. This work has taught our attorneys how to protect our clients from retaliation for reporting safety problems or applying for workers’ compensation benefits. When employers fire, demote, reassign, or harass our clients to chastise them exercising their rights, our attorneys act quickly and take critical legal action.
When our workers’ comp attorneys work with a client, they will also look into pursuing third-party injury claims. In spite of the strict Ohio laws, which make it practically impossible for an employee to sue their employer for negligence that lead to a workplace accident, a third party is often found liable for such an accident. Reckless drivers, faulty toolmakers, or negligent employees of a different company may be held accountable via a personal injury claim or civil lawsuit.
There is also a likelihood that a wage theft claim may be uncovered throughout the workers’ compensation claim process. The wage theft can occur in many ways including minimum wage violations, misclassification of the employee as an independent contractor, or having employees clock out but continue working. Our accomplished staff will identify possible wage theft issues when they meet with you.

“Bob DeRose was a huge help in getting my complaint settled. They were responsive and a huge help with all my questions. Would recommend them to anyone who needs help!”
My experience with this Law firm was phenomenal. I found my way into their offices after an unexpected workplace injury. Initially I was clueless about their performance.
The fact that I was not merely looking out for a supplement for my financial budget, I was simply there to explore whatever compensation was due me since the injury legitimately occcured “during and in the course of my employment”.
After an initial visit to the offices where the necessary documentation were initiated, the rest were simply a phone call for updates. Sometimes it was even needless.
They frankly discussed the pathway as well as the unpredictability of the timing for the process.This was necessary. I took that in good faith. The fact that there was no upfront payment was also a good thing.
Without monitoring my calendar, I waited patiently for the various
phases of the process to unfold.
Finally the claim was settled with so much transparency. The unpredictable journey ended with a check delivered to my mailbox.
In fact communications from this Law office is always expedient. The Front Desk Associate was very helpful and polite at all times. My attorney’s paralegal was always available to play her part whenever necessary.“
“They are top-notch attorneys who are experts in their fields. They do great work and are easy to work with. They care about their clients and always try to do the best job possible for them.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sandy and Robin on my case. Robin was just a short email or call away from all of my questions. The communication I had with Sandy was just as great. Both Sandy and Robin made sure I knew exactly what was going on with my case at all times. I will be recommending them to others. If I ever need help legal matters in the future, I know I can get the help from Sandy Meizlish.”
