Over 50 Years Of Trusted Guidance For Youngstown Residents

Workers’ Compensation Counsel For Psychiatric And Psychological Injuries

In Ohio, workers’ compensation for psychological injuries often stems from a physical workplace trauma. At Curry & Regginello, we provide professional and compassionate guidance for those struggling in Youngstown and across Ohio. Our seasoned lawyers offer the quality representation you need to handle an unfamiliar system during a difficult time.

Common Psychiatric And Psychological Injuries In The Workplace

Ohio law generally requires a bodily injury or occupational disease to trigger coverage for mental health conditions. We help you identify if your job-related stress or emotional trauma qualifies for benefits by reviewing issues such as:

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): This often follows a sudden, violent workplace accident or life-threatening event.
  • Work-related stress: Intense pressure following a physical injury can lead to severe psychological strain.
  • Anxiety: High-stress environments or recovery hurdles can cause anxiety that prevents a return to work.
  • Depression: Chronic pain from a physical work injury can lead to a secondary diagnosis of clinical depression.
  • First responder exception: Ohio now provides PTSD benefits for police, fire and EMS workers, even without a physical injury.

To build a workers’ compensation claim, you must have medical documentation linking your mental state to your physical work injury. You must also secure other proof of serious workplace trauma such as witness statements, psychiatric evaluations and therapy records. These should verify your diagnosis and its direct connection to your employment.
