Ohio Workers' Comp for Hospital Personnel
Helping Injured Hospital Employees Seek Workers' Compensation Benefits in Ohio
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), hospitals are the most dangerous places to work. In 2011, there were over 250,000 reports of work-related injuries by hospital personnel. If you are a healthcare worker, and you were injured on the job, you have the right to file a workers compensation claim. The benefits you may be entitled to can help pay for your medical expenses, lost wages, or other injury-related damages. To increase the chances of successfully filing a workers' compensation claim, it's best to get a skilled attorney on your side.

“Extremely knowledgeable”
Mr Zamura was extremely knowledgeable with all phases of my Ohio Police and Fire disability claim. He followed up on all aspects and made sure I was informed and up to date with everything going on. He was prompt at returning calls and emails if needed. His application paperwork was done very thoroughly which helped the process go much easier with the OP&F review board. His staff was great also. I would recommend him to anyone looking into a possible disability claim. I am from Akron and he is in Columbus. I only made 2 trips down to see him face to face. Everything else was done electronically or by phone.- Steve H. -

If I had to go through such a situation with BWC I’m forever grateful it was with these people walking through it together...Charles & his secretary Iesha & Danielle. They ALWAYS treated me with kindness, dignity, & respect. They treated my situation as if it just as important to them as it was to me. They ALWAYS made me feel like I was their only one... trust me they have many & for good reasons. It makes my heart happy knowing there are still hardworking wonderful people out there doing what they do & fighting for the right reasons because they genuinely care.

Common Types of Injuries Suffered by Hospital Personnel
The working environments of hospitals are unique, which is why personnel are more likely to suffer injuries or illnesses while on the job. Doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers must come in contact with various dangers and hazards that are not present in most sectors.
Hospital personnel are exposed to airborne diseases that can cause infections, sharp needles and other instruments that might be contaminated with bloodborne pathogens, and medical tubes and wires that increase the risk of trips and falls. Additionally, they must manually lift or move patients, may come in contact with violent patients, and must react quickly to emergencies. These conditions, coupled with the fact that hospital workers are often overworked, make personnel potentially more prone to injury.
The most common types of hospital workplace injuries include, but are not limited to:
