Our firm is dedicated to helping injured employees obtain the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve and ensuring their rights are protected under Ohio law.

Understanding Workplace Violence

Workplace violence can occur in any profession, from offices and hospitals to retail stores and industrial sites. These incidents may involve co-workers, supervisors, customers, or even outside individuals entering the workplace. Common examples include physical assaults, fights, and violent confrontations that arise during the course of employment.

Victims of workplace violence often suffer not only from physical harm—such as bruises, fractures, or head injuries—but also from serious psychological effects like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions can make it difficult to return to work and maintain normal daily life.

Workers’ Compensation for Workplace Violence Injuries

If you were injured in a violent incident at work, you may be entitled to benefits through Ohio’s workers’ compensation system. These benefits can cover medical treatment, therapy, lost wages, and disability payments. However, it must be shown that the violence was connected to your employment and not a purely personal matter unrelated to your job.

At Robin J. Peterson Company, LLC, we help injured workers gather the necessary evidence—such as incident reports, witness statements, and medical documentation—to support their claims. We also work to ensure that any psychological injuries resulting from workplace violence are fully recognized and compensated under Ohio law.

Addressing Employer and BWC Challenges

Employers or the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) may dispute claims involving workplace violence, arguing that the event was not work-related. Our firm represents clients in hearings and appeals, ensuring their injuries—both physical and emotional—are properly evaluated and that all available benefits are pursued.
