We represent Ohio workers injured on the job, ensuring proper medical care coverage and compensation for lost wages. Our firm handles claims involving amputations, fatal accidents, and denied benefits while supporting undocumented workers' rights. With deep knowledge of Ohio workers' compensation statutes, we advocate for full benefits recovery through hearings and legal proceedings.
Medical Malpractice
Our team pursues justice for patients harmed by surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or substandard care. We specialize in birth injury cases involving cerebral palsy and Erb's Palsy caused by delivery room mistakes. Through thorough investigation of medical records and expert testimony, we build strong cases against healthcare providers to secure compensation for lifelong treatment needs and family impact.
Social Security Disability
We assist Ohio residents in obtaining Social Security Disability benefits after denied applications. Our representation covers eligibility requirements, appeals processes, and hearings before administrative law judges. We help clients document work history and medical limitations to prove disability status for sustained financial support when unable to work.
Wrongful Death
Our firm represents families who lost loved ones due to negligence, handling both probate estate matters and civil negligence claims. We pursue compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering while navigating Ohio's statutory requirements for filing wrongful death lawsuits. This includes fatal truck accidents and medical malpractice-related deaths.
