Horn Law Office

Welcome to the Law Office of Stephanie D. Horn

Ohio Workers' Compensation Law

Workers' Compensation laws are complicated. If you've been injured at
work, or contracted an occupational disease you need someone to look out
for you. An experienced attorney can help you through this difficult time for
you and your family. Attorney Stephanie D. Horn has many years of
experience handling work injuries in order to obtain the best possible
results for our clients.

We combine big firm experience with the small office personal touch, to
provide you with the best possible representation.

Areas Served

Our office represents clients before the Bureau of Workers' Compensation,
Industrial Commission and the Courts throughout southwestern Ohio. We
regularly appear at hearings at Industrial Commission hearing offices in
Dayton, Springfield, Hamilton and Cincinnati.

Recent Changes in Ohio Law

New legislation works against injured workers and their doctors by
reducing the amount of time they have to seek payment for work injury
related medical bills and treatment.

A law passed by the Ohio Legislature means that an allowed medical only
claim may remain open for consideration of treatment for only five years
after the most recent payment has been made. Previously those claims
were open for six years from the time the last medical bill was paid.
Claims that involve payment of lost wages will remain open for payments
only five years rather than ten years as previously established.

Since many injured workers do not become aware of the full extent of their
injury until some time has passed, this change makes it even more
important to consider seeking assistance of legal counsel. This is only
one example of several recent and important changes that can affect your
legal rights related to work injuries. An attorney can help make certain that
the appropriate medical conditions are recognized, and that medical bills
are paid in a timely fashion.

Being injured at work is never easy, but having a qualified, competent
attorney to represent your interests can certainly help make sure you
receive all the benefits you are entitled to receive under Ohio law.
