Workmans Comp in Cincinnati: Claim Basics

Initiating Your Claim

Starting a workman’s comp or BWC claim is quite simple. Generally, all that is required to begin is the filing of the first report of injury form (or “froi”) and supporting documentation from your doctor.

Staying in Contact with Your Specialist

It is always a good idea to stay in contact with your claim specialist, particularly right after your injury. This ensures the BWC has all the supporting materials needed to start your claim correctly.

For example, keeping a close eye on recognized diagnoses and correctly set wages are important details.

Resolving Workers' Compensation Disputes

If you disagree with a decision made by the BWC and/or your employer, you may have the right to appeal the decision to the Industrial Commission.
