Workers’ Compensation Attorney Serving Springfield, Dayton, and the Miami Valley

The Dayton-Springfield region is a hub for Ohio’s manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics industries. While these sectors drive our local economy, they also place workers at significant risk for serious on-the-job injuries. Whether you are an assembly line worker in Springfield or a nurse in a Dayton hospital, you have the right to seek benefits when you are hurt at work.

At the Philip J. Fulton Law Office, we understand the specific challenges facing workers in Clark and Montgomery counties. We have extensive experience handling claims for the injuries most common to this region’s workforce, including:

Manufacturing Injuries: Machine press accidents, crushing injuries, and repetitive trauma from assembly line work at local auto and parts manufacturing plants.
Healthcare Worker Injuries: Back and shoulder injuries from patient lifting, slip-and-falls, and occupational diseases affecting nurses and aides in the region’s major hospital systems.
Logistics and Transportation: Loading dock accidents, forklift injuries, and motor vehicle collisions involving delivery drivers on I-70 and I-75.
Construction Accidents: Falls, electrocutions, and equipment failure on job sites throughout the Miami Valley.

Local Representation for Industrial Commission Hearings

If your claim is contested, your hearing will likely be held at the Industrial Commission of Ohio’s Dayton District Office in Fairborn. You need an attorney who is familiar with the local hearing officers and procedures in this specific district.

Our attorneys have appeared at thousands of hearings and understand how to present a compelling case before the Industrial Commission. We handle all aspects of your claim, including:

Initial Allowance: Ensuring your claim is filed correctly and covers all injured body parts.
Substantial Aggravation: Proving that a work accident worsened a pre-existing condition like arthritis or a prior back injury.
Total Disability: Securing Temporary Total (TTD) or Permanent Total (PTD) disability benefits if you cannot return to work.
Violations of Specific Safety Requirements (VSSR): Seeking additional compensation if your injury was caused by an employer’s safety violation.
