Bricker & Eckler LLP represents manufacturers and logistics clients involved in workers' compensation claims, including defending claims filed by injured employees before the Industrial Commission and before the court system in the event of an appeal.

We also defend manufacturers and logistics clients against applications filed by injured workers alleging injuries due to safety violations and represent them before the Bureau of Workers' Compensation regarding misclassified payrolls that result in higher premiums. Additionally, we help manufacturers and logistics clients make their workers' compensation program more efficient and less expensive.
