Attorney Jeffrey D. Johnson is a Cleveland, Ohio, workers' compensation lawyer. With almost 10 years of experience, Jeff Johnson continuously develops strong strategies to help injured workers with their workers' comp cases. Some people injured on the job do not understand the complex system of the Bureau of Workers' Compensation. Jeff helps injured workers navigate the system to receive compensation like temporary total (TT), permanent partial impairment awards (PPI) and permanent total disability (PTD). Other benefits or types of compensation include wage loss, non-working wage loss, living maintenance, or vocational rehabilitation. Workers Comp benefits may be paid by either the BWC or the self-insured employer.

Worker's Compensation in Ohio is a very complicated system. The Managed Care Organizations (MCO), Third Party Administrators (TPA), Bureau of Worker's Compensation (BWC) and most Vocational Rehabilitation Company's all represent the interests of the employer. The largest MCO's in Ohio are: Careworks, Sheakley, CompManagement, 1-888-Ohiocomp and Corvel.
