The Trilogy - How injury victims could have three cases in one

If you are seriously injured while working you could end up with three cases for compensation and benefits as a result of one injury caused accident. The first case that you would have if you are injured while working in Ohio is a claim for workers compensation benefits. Usually you do not have a claim against your employer for pain and suffering except in intentional tort cases. And these are rare.

However if your personal injury was caused as a result of the fault of a third party you can bring a claim against the third party. The usual situation is if you drive for an employer and someone else unrelated to the employer is at fault for a car accident. You can bring a claim against the driver for pain and sufferring, loss of enjoyment of life , lost wages and medical expense.

The third case in the trilogy is if your injury is so serious that you will not be able to work at any job for at least one full year. In that case you have a claim for social security disability benefits.

There is interplay beteen all of these cases . If you get money for your personal injury from the at fault party, workers compensation wants the benefits they paid you back. However this can be negotiated in many cases to a lesser amount.

The evidence developed can be used for or against you from one case to another. So many problems can arise if one claim is not coordinated with another. The best way to do this is hire an attorney experienced in these three areas of law.

I have handled these cases for over 28 years. I have had clients with the tiligy. They are grateful to be able to deal with one attorney for all of there needs in all three cases.
