Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC

At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, we represent workers throughout Cuyahoga County who have suffered psychological injuries resulting from their employment. Mental health conditions caused by stressful, traumatic, or unsafe work environments can be just as debilitating as physical injuries. Our firm is dedicated to helping employees secure the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve so they can focus on recovery and healing.

Understanding Psychological Workplace Injuries

Psychological injuries can arise from a single traumatic incident—such as workplace violence, an industrial accident, or witnessing a co-worker’s injury—or develop over time due to ongoing stress, harassment, or unsafe working conditions. Common work-related psychological conditions include depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and adjustment disorders.

These injuries often interfere with a worker’s ability to perform job duties, maintain relationships, and manage everyday life. Unfortunately, because psychological injuries are not visible, many employees face skepticism when they seek compensation for their mental health conditions.

Workers’ Compensation for Psychological Conditions

Under Ohio law, certain psychological injuries may qualify for workers’ compensation benefits if they are linked to a work-related physical injury or caused by specific workplace events. These benefits can include medical treatment, therapy, prescription coverage, and wage replacement.

At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, we help injured workers gather the medical and occupational evidence needed to prove that their psychological condition is directly connected to their employment. We work closely with mental health professionals to ensure your diagnosis and treatment plan are well-documented and presented effectively to the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) or Industrial Commission of Ohio.

Overcoming Employer and BWC Challenges

Psychological injury claims are often disputed by employers or the BWC, who may argue that the condition is unrelated to work or caused by personal factors. Our firm represents clients during hearings and appeals to ensure their cases are taken seriously. We prepare detailed evidence, expert reports, and testimony to support the legitimacy of your condition and your right to benefits.
