Helping Workers With Workers’ Compensation Claims Throughout Ohio
The workers’ compensation system can be very confusing. Benefits are determined by tedious calculations; medical treatment is not guaranteed and more often than not needs to be aggressively pursued. Employers have the right to object to benefits. As an injured worker, you have the right to have effective counsel represent and fight for you through this process.
At Castrodale Law, LLC, Attorney Gloria Castrodale has decades of experience in navigating Ohio’s workers’ compensation system. Attorney Castrodale has tried cases in more than half of Ohio’s counties, helping both blue and white collar workers receive the medical treatment and compensation they need to properly recover after a work injury.
