Walter & Haverfield’s attorneys represent self-insured and state-fund insured clients in workers’ compensation matters. Our attorneys represent employers at the administrative level at the Ohio Industrial Commission and the Bureau of Workers Compensation and into the Courts following the administrative process. We work with our clients and their third-party administrators to aggressively and efficiently defend claims. We regularly represent clients in a vast array of industries including health care, manufacturing, construction, and many other businesses. In addition, our attorneys represent private and public employers.
