I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this—it’s a lot to manage, especially when your health and financial future are on the line.

If the injury occurred in a workplace in Ohio, the Ohio legislature has passed a law to make your employer immune from lawsuits, alleging workplace injury, making the Worker’s Compensation system your sole source of recovery. It is very difficult to bring a case against an employer on Ohio unless... View More

This is something that is covered by the Worker's compensation program and if you are injured due to lack of PPE, you should file a worker's comp case and get it opened up. This is also an OSHA violation and you have a right to report it to OSHA without fear of retaliation. Any... View More

In Wisconsin,once you report a work injury as you have done as you describe above, any smart employer would report it immediately to their worker's compensation insurance carrier and take you off that job and refer you to be seen by a doctor of their, or your, selection without further delay....

Yes, you should have a lawyer handle this.

Ohio does not recognize workers' compensation claims for psychological conditions alone; they must be associated with a physical injury you sustain. Other states recognize these claims but not Ohio. You would have to sustain a physical injury, even a minor one, before the psychological... View More

You have a valid work injury claim. If you have developed an emotional reaction to your injuries and the incident, you may be able to get treatment under your claim. You'd have to have a psychologist or other mental health professional confirm a diagnosis and file a motion to have the... View More

Report this to your employer, then see a doctor.

The BWC has an Adjudication Committee (at least they used to years ago when I worked there) where you can present your situation. It used to come up when employers were non-complying (I.e., hadn't had premiums) or coverage had lapsed for a few days and then got hit with a huge penalty. They... View More

Ohio is an at-will employment state, meaning you or your employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason (as long as the reason isn’t discriminatory). It sounds like you have been fired here based on what happened. As for unemployment, your employer can challenge... View More

Hi. I would wait to hear what payroll, HR, and management say. Does missing that portion of your pay put you below the minimum wage? Is the check for any overtime you worked during the pay period? If so, you may have a claim. But I would try to resolve this internally since you are still working... View More
