if you were injured at work while on the job it is most likely a workers compensation claim and you would need to contact a lawfirm that handles that type of work

You have an absolute right to file a Workers Comp claim. Your bosses conduct is illegal. It is illegal to fire someone for filing a workers comp claim in Ohio.

According to Ohio law, your employer cannot fire you nor discriminate against you for filing a Workers' Compensation claim. If you suffered an injury while at work, your recourse may include compensation such as lost wages or temporary, partial, or permanent disability benefits.
