Workers Compensation Subrogation

WORKERS COMPENSATION SUBROGATION IN OHIO IS COMPLEX!

Self-insureds and TPA's have for years relied on RMI to navigate Ohio laws and ensure a maximum recovery from work related injuries caused by a third party.

  • Workers compensation in Ohio has special nuances not found in most jurisdictions with a hybrid "monopolistic" and "self-insured" program.
  • RMI is often a first contact by insurers and TPA's when subrogation involves an "out of state" policy or non-Ohio resident employee injured while working in Ohio.
  • Often "conflict or laws" issues along with application of the state subrogation lien statute arise. RMI is pleased that clients have relied on the firm to maximize recoveries in these instances.
  • RMI represented the subrogation workers compensation industry before the Ohio Supreme Court. The firm filed an amicus brief on a constitutional challenge to the Ohio workers compensation statute. Our representation was the first amicus filing of the National Association of Subrogation Professionals (NASP).
  • Our firm has been a recognized contributor and author of the Ohio section of a national treatise on workers compensation subrogation.
