Legal Question in Workers Comp in Ohio

Re: terminated from employer

Based on the facts provided, generally an employer may not fire an employee for pursuing their rights under the workers' compensation system. This law has very strict guidelines which must be followed to maintain a claim. For example, within 90 days from the date of the contested employer act, the injured worker must provide written notice to the employer that a claim of wrongful termination will be pursued.

I would advise that you speak to an attorney on this matter as failure to follow the strict rules and deadlines may cause you to lose avenues of recovery. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions.
