What is the statute of limitations for filing an Ohio workers' compensation claim?

If you are injured on the job in Ohio, you need to make sure that you file all necessary paperwork in a timely manner, in order not to miss what is called the statute of limitations.

The first action that needs to be taken immediately after an Ohio work injury is to seek medical treatment, and report the incident to your employer as soon as possible.

Complete a First Report of Injury form, which is called a FROI in the work comp world. Your employer is supposed to fill out the form, but if that doesn't happen, an attorney can help you. The form is crucial because it's the only way you can get a claim number on file with the Bureau of Workers' Compensation/ Without a claim number, your claim will go nowhere. So, complete a FROI as soon as possible.

Generally, an Ohio injured worker has two years from the date of injury to file a claim with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
