Workers Compensation 25%

Workers' compensation (workers' comp) is an administrative area of Ohio law that requires employers to compensate workers that are injured at work for lost wages, medical bills, permanent injuries, regardless of who was at fault. If you have sustained an injury on the job, your Ohio BWC workers' compensation claim could need immediate action to preserve your rights. Whether your employer has workers' comp insurance or is a self-insured employer, they are required to fully compensate for injuries

Client - Car Accident and BWC Case.

Attorney Patrick Merrick is an excellent lawyer, trustworthy and very knowledgeable in every legal issue. My experiences with Attorney Patrick has been very great. I was involved in a car accident where the driver rear ended my car so badly and caused me pains. The at-fault driver’s insurance compa...ny gave me run around for weeks without taken responsibility. A friend of mine who had positive result on her case with Attorney Patrick’s service recommended him to me. I hired Attorney Patrick Merrick and he took the case. He was very straightforward, confident, and told me what to expect each step of the way. I was impressed that he made the insurance company gave me a rental car, fixed my car and paid for the treatment that I received from the accident. I am satisfied with how Attorney Patrick Merrick soften the blow from the accident and resolved my case. Furthermore, I have also had positive outcome with Attorney Patrick Merrick representing me at BWC (Bureau of Workers Compensation) hearing and over the years he has provided me with sound practical legal advice on issues that bothers me. I highly recommend any family and friends to Attorney Patrick Merrick and guaranteed that once they have used his service they will not look elsewhere because Attorney Patrick Merrick will look out for their best interest. Thank you, Attorney Patrick Merrick.

My injury at work

I was referred to Attorney Merrick from a coworker. I was not sure about filing a claim because I was worried that my job would fire me or try to get rid of me because I had a case against them. Attorney Merrick worked with me and explained that my job could not discriminate against me because I file...d a claim. I was off work for 3 1/2 weeks and I got paid for the time I missed.
