Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability Attorney in Columbus
Columbus isn’t just the state capital; it is the heartbeat of Ohio’s legal and industrial landscape. From the distribution hubs near Rickenbacker International Airport to the expanding medical campuses of OSU Wexner and OhioHealth, our city is growing fast. But this growth places heavy demands on our workforce. When you are injured on the job or disabled and unable to work in Franklin County, you need an attorney who understands the specific landscape of the local economy.
At Philip J. Fulton Law Office, our office is located right here on Nationwide Boulevard, just steps from where the decisions about your claim are made. We have decades of experience representing Columbus residents in:
- Workers’ Compensation: Fighting for logistics, healthcare, and construction workers injured in the Rickenbacker corridor and across Central Ohio.
- Social Security Disability (SSDI): Helping residents throughout Franklin County secure benefits for long-term disabilities when they can no longer work.
Your Local Advocates at the Columbus Industrial Commission
Because Columbus is the headquarters for the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC), the process here is unique. If your workers’ comp claim is contested, your hearing will likely be held at the William Green Building on West Spring Street, just a few blocks from our office.
We appear before these local hearing officers daily. We know the procedures, we know the personnel, and we know how to effectively present your case whether you are fighting for initial claim allowance or total disability benefits.
Columbus Social Security Disability (SSDI) Representation
If your claim for Social Security Disability is denied, you will likely need a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). For Columbus residents, these are handled by the Office of Hearing Operations (OHO), located downtown.
Having a local attorney matters. We are familiar with the local ALJs and vocational experts who will decide your case. We can help you navigate the complex federal regulations while providing the accessible, face-to-face service you expect from a local Columbus firm.

We don’t just handle cases; we help shape the law. Our proximity to the Statehouse and the Supreme Court of Ohio allows us to stay at the forefront of legislative changes that affect injured and disabled workers.
