Older Workers' Comp Cases Have Value

Do You Have an Older Workers' Comp Claim You Want To Settle?

If you have an older workers' compensation claim in Ohio for which you are no longer receiving significant benefits, you may be able to settle that claim for a cash payment. Old workers' compensation claims have value in Ohio, which wasn't the case in the past.

The state of Ohio is now trying to settle older workers' compensation claims. At the law firm of Seaman Garson LLC in Cleveland, Ohio, we offer a free consultation to discuss your rights and options.

Why Does the State Want To Settle My Claim?

Even if you are no longer receiving benefits for your past claim, it still represents a liability to the workers' compensation fund.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Workers' Comp Claims?

Every workers' compensation claim has an expiration date under Ohio's statute of limitations. That expiration date may be anywhere from two years to ten years depending on the facts of your case and date of your injury. The statute of limitations law is complicated, and our lawyers offer a free initial consultation to determine the expiration date that applies to your claim.
