Cincinnati Workmans Comp Lawyer : Hearing at the Industrial Commission

Understanding Industrial Commission Hearings

We often represent injured workers with Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) claims. This typically occurs after they receive notice of a hearing at a local Industrial Commission (IC) office.

These hearings are crucial for their Ohio workers' compensation claim.

Common Hearing Issues

The IC conducts hearings on various matters. Most commonly, these involve either a treatment issue or an allowance issue.

Every hearing is a chance to make your case heard. Preparation and the right representation can make all the difference.

Treatment Authorization Decisions

Hearings concerning treatment address whether specific care for a work injury is reasonably necessary and appropriate. This includes treatments like physical therapy, chiropractic care, surgery, or medication.

These treatments must be for the allowed condition(s) in the Ohio work comp claim. As Cincinnati work comp attorneys, we handle numerous such hearings weekly, advocating for our clients' medical needs.

Claim Allowance Determinations

Allowance issue hearings are also very common. These hearings determine whether a particular condition should be added to an injured worker's claim.

These hearings are vital. If an employee does not have the correct allowances or diagnoses in their claim, treatment or compensation may be denied.
