Ohio Workers’ Compensation

At Herdman Yeager, LLC, Carol Herdman and Christopher Yeager work hard to protect the rights of Ohio workers injured on the job. We understand that after an on-the-job injury you will have many questions about what to do next—How am I going to pay my medical bills? What are my rights regarding lost wages due to my inability to work?—contacting a knowledgeable attorney can improve your chances of effectively resolving your claim. Our attorneys can take care of the details and provide guidance so that you can continue with your life.

In Ohio, injured workers have the right to compensation benefits, high-quality health care, and to have medical bills paid. With our experience representing injured workers, we would be glad to assist you in filing your claim with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. We also will attend your hearings and file appeals before the Industrial Commission of Ohio, Tenth District Court of Appeals, and Supreme Court if you are wrongly denied compensation benefits.

If you or a family member are injured on the job, please contact our office and allow us to guide you through the process of preparing your claim, seeing that you receive the treatment and compensation you deserve, and helping you return to work quickly.

We help disabled individuals with both Social Security Disability (SSD) claims as well as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims.

At Herdman Yeager, we take care of compiling medical records, working with your doctor to obtain support for your claim, corresponding with the Social Security Administration, and filing appeals if necessary, while you focus on receiving the treatment you need. If you have requested a hearing or have a hearing scheduled, we will attend the hearing in front of an administrative law judge with you and advocate on your behalf.

There are many complexities to Social Security Disability law, and our experience can help navigate you through the process. If you feel that your claim was wrongly denied, or you would like more information regarding the claim process, make an appointment with our firm and let us fight for your benefits.

State of Ohio Disability

The Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS), State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio (STRS), and School Employees Retirement System of Ohio (SERS) disability programs are each administered differently and the process of applying and being awarded benefits can be difficult and confusing. We are able to assist at all levels of the process, including the initial application, at hearings, and on appeal to the Tenth District Court of Appeals and Ohio Supreme Court.
