Since the Ohio Constitution was amended in 1913 to require a mandatory program to compensate injured workers, Dinsmore & Shohl LLP has offered its clients a broad spectrum of counseling and advice on a variety of legal issues arising under the Workers’ Compensation Act.
Administrative Practices
The firm represents clients in administrative workers’ compensation litigation. A major share of its efforts in this area involves defense of disputed claims before the Industrial Commission of Ohio at all levels.
Since a workers’ compensation claim often begins before an application is initially filed, the firm counsels clients on investigation of claims, responding to workplace hazards, as well as the administration of contested and non-contested claims to reduce workers’ compensation costs. In addition, Dinsmore & Shohl LLP represents Kentucky businesses before the Kentucky Workers’ Compensation Board.
The firm advises state funded and self-insured clients with matters pertaining to premium rates, non-compliance, establishing and/or transferring risk experience and renders assistance in maintaining self-insured privileges under workers’ compensation laws.
The firm also advises and counsels clients with respect to safety standards and violations, inspections by the Bureau pertaining to the maintenance of safety standards and compliance with Bureau rules and regulations.
Civil Litigation Practice
Dinsmore & Shohl LLP has defended employers throughout the state at the trial court, at the appellate level, and before the Ohio Supreme Court. The firm also represents employers before the Franklin County Court of Appeals on mandamus complaints to compel Industrial Commission action on significant matters.
The firm has been instrumental in working with the Industrial Commission and Bureau of Workers’ Compensation Administrators, as well as legislators, in proposed legislation and agency guidelines. The firm’s workers’ compensation attorneys are active in statewide and local bar associations, trade groups and other organizations.
Members of the Dinsmore & Shohl LLP Workers’ Compensation Practice Group frequently appear at national, statewide, and regional seminars and are published on all aspects of workers’ compensation law.
