We help you obtain:
- Medical care coverage for treatment from an approved medical provider.

- Disability benefits for partial or permanent impairment.
- Vocational rehabilitation when you need training to return to work.

Comprehensive Support for Workplace Injuries
If you’ve been injured at work, Spears & Marinakis will stand beside you. We handle every type of work injury and work-related illness, including construction accidents, factory injuries, chemical exposure, and repetitive-stress conditions.
When an injury occurs, it’s essential to report the injury immediately and seek care from an authorized medical provider. Once you’ve done that, our compensation attorneys help ensure your paperwork, timelines, and documentation are accurate. Because even small mistakes can jeopardize your workers’ compensation case.
If your employer failed to carry workers’ compensation insurance or refuses to accept responsibility, our attorneys pursue every legal option, including a personal injury lawsuit against an employer for negligence.
Personal Injury and Workers’ Comp Experience Combined
Unlike many firms that only handle one type of claim, Spears & Marinakis, LLC are skilled in both workers’ compensation law and personal injury litigation. This dual experience matters because some cases overlap an injured worker may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits and also able to file a personal injury lawsuit against a third party.
If you were injured on the job due to unsafe conditions or faulty equipment, our injury lawyers investigate whether you can sue your employer or another responsible party. We handle every angle of a compensation case, ensuring that our clients receive full recovery for medical expenses, disability benefits, and pain and suffering.
Our personal injury attorneys are recognized across Ohio for their results in auto accidents, premises liability, and catastrophic injury litigation, giving our clients a comprehensive edge when workplace accidents cross into civil liability.
Experience Matters in Workers’ Compensation Claims
An experienced workers’ compensation attorney knows how to interpret medical reports, communicate with adjusters, and negotiate with the compensation insurance carrier. Without expert representation, an injured worker may miss deadlines, lose benefits, or accept a settlement far below what they’re entitled to.
Our attorneys have successfully handled hundreds of workers’ compensation cases, recovering millions for injured workers throughout Ohio. We understand the strategies employers and insurers use to minimize payments, and we counter them with solid evidence and aggressive advocacy.
If you need to find an attorney for your work injury, Spears & Marinakis is the name you can trust. Our lawyers can help you file a claim, challenge denials, and ensure your injury at work receives full recognition under the law.
Helping Injured Workers Navigate Disability and Return-to-Work Programs
One of the most misunderstood aspects of workers’ compensation benefits involves disability categories. Whether your claim involves temporary total disability, temporary partial disability, or permanent disability, we explain each type in plain language.
- Temporary total disability covers wages when you cannot work at all.
- Temporary partial disability applies when you can work part-time or at reduced capacity.
- Permanent disability compensates for lasting impairment or loss of function.
Our law firm works closely with your medical provider to prove the extent of your injuries. We also coordinate with vocational specialists to help you return to work safely and with proper accommodations. When injured workers may need ongoing support, we make sure benefits continue until recovery is complete.
Steps to Take After a Work Accident
If you get hurt on the job, the first step is to report your injury to your supervisor and ask your employer for the official claim forms. Then seek medical treatment and contact an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer immediately.
Our lawyer can help gather witness statements, accident reports, and medical records to support your claim. We ensure that your right to file a personal claim or appeal is protected, especially if the insurance carrier denies responsibility.
The sooner you find a lawyer or comp attorney, the stronger your case becomes. Our team ensures your workers’ compensation case proceeds without delay so you can receive workers’ compensation benefits as quickly as possible.
