Types of Workers’ Compensation
Our workers’ compensation lawyers in Amherst, Ohio, help clients claim three types of compensation:
• Workers’ Comp
• Social Security Compensation
• Legal Claims
Workers’ Compensation in Amherst, OH
Workers in Ohio are entitled to compensation through their employee benefits packages.
Those whose injuries temporarily stop them from working receive Temporary Total Disability payments. Those who suffer long-term pain or impairment may qualify for Permanent Partial Disability payments. Those whose injuries force them permanently from the workplace receive Permanent Total Disability payments.
When the injury lowers a worker’s capability of earning an income, Ohio workers can also claim compensation for the difference between their previous earning capability and their new one.
Social Security Compensation
If a worker’s disability, whether physical or mental, is on a list of those that the Social Security Administration recognizes, they might be eligible for social security compensation. The amount of benefit will depend on work history and past contributions to Social Security.
Legal Claims for Compensation in Amherst, OH
There are two types of legal claims open to Ohio workers who have received injuries at work.
The first, the intentional tort claim, is very rare. In it, the burden is on the injured worker to prove that their employer intended the injury.
Much more common are third-party claims seeking compensation from entities other than the employer. Among the entities commonly claimed against are:
• Property owners, whose responsibility it is to keep those on their property safe
• Contractors, who have the responsibility to guard against negligence that can cause injuries
• Manufacturers, who are responsible for faults in equipment that cause accidents
Awards that you receive from a third party can affect worker’s compensation and social security disability benefits, so be sure to secure legal advice before claiming any compensation.
According to the Social Security Administration, “Disability payments from private sources, such as private pensions or insurance benefits, don’t affect your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Workers’ compensation and other public disability benefits, however, may reduce your SSDI benefits.”
If you are Medicare-eligible, you must use your workers’ compensation funds to repay Medicare for any services Medicare paid that your workers’ compensation claim covers.
