Pursuing Your Workers' Compensation Benefits
Ohio and Michigan Work Injury Lawyer
If you were injured in a work-related capacity, the legal team at Borgstahl & Zychowicz, Ltd. wants to assure you that we take your case seriously and will put our full resources behind it. There is a short window to appeal denied claims, so we respond promptly to assemble the strongest case for your compensation.
Located in Toledo, we represent injured workers in Northwest Ohio and across the state, as well as bordering communities in Southeast Michigan.
Knowledgeable About Workers' Compensation
Attorney Gene Borgstahl has been licensed in Ohio and Michigan since 1984. His law practice is solely devoted to workers' compensation and related work injury litigation. He represents clients in all claims, hearings and appeals, from workplace accidents to injuries that develop over time from work-related duties or toxic exposures.
We serve anyone injured in the scope of employment, with extensive experience representing police officers and firefighters, health care workers, construction workers, and factory and workshop employees. Mr. Borgstahl is careful in preparing your case and gathering evidence to establish a causal relationship between the injury and the employment, and in seeking the highest disability rating for those who are permanently injured.
Standing Up for Your Rights
You have the right to see your own doctors and the right to stay off the job until your body is healed. You have the right to fight back if your benefits are denied, curtailed or terminated. Borgstahl & Zychowicz will faithfully and forcefully represent you in your initial claim, in Workers' Compensation Board hearings and in appeals to the Industrial Commission of Ohio (or the corresponding bodies in Michigan).
Helping You Make Informed Decisions
We will take the time to explain your rights and your options. For example, the decision to take a lump sum disability settlement and sign off on continuing benefits must be carefully considered in light of your immediate circumstances and the long-term implications.
Free Consultation and Contingency Fee Representation
Mr. Borgstahl invites you to a free case evaluation to discuss your rights and all possible claims, including lawsuits against third parties outside the chain of your employment. Call us at 800-644-7911 (or 419-842-1166 in the Toledo area). We can arrange evening and weekend appointments, as well as home or hospital visits for the seriously injured. We do not take attorney's fees unless we successfully appeal your denied claim or reach a settlement with your employer's insurer.
