When an injured worker with a pre-existing condition files a legitimate workers’ comp claim, they often face an uphill battle to collect benefits. Employers and insurers frequently allege that a pre-existing condition is the cause of their injury and deny workers’ comp benefits.

If this sounds familiar, speak to an experienced Toledo workers’ compensation attorney from Schaffer & Associates. We have been helping people navigate the Ohio BWC for decades.

We understand that before your work injury, your pre-existing condition likely wasn't a significant problem in your life. We will fight for you and your future, making sure you get all the benefits you're entitled to.

Today we're acknowledging our office administrator, Hannah Tansel. Not only is she an important member of our team, she also works incredibly hard as a doula serving the Toledo area. Doulas like Hannah nurture the world, one family at a time.✨

Through steady presence, thoughtful care, and deep listening, doulas support families in moments that can feel uncertain or overwhelming. What may seem like small acts of support can have a lasting impact, shaping how people experience birth, recovery, and the early days of parenting.

Like a seed that grows into something much larger, this care doesn’t stop with one moment or one family. It ripples outward - into children who feel safe and supported as they grow up, into the ways those children go on to care for others as adults, and into people who witness this support and feel inspired to offer it in their own communities.🌱

Join us this month as we celebrate how doulas nurture families and, in turn, the world around them.💜

When most people hear "Social Security", they think about retirement benefits. Many aren't knowledgeable about the disability benefits also offered through SSA.

Even those who call our office for help because they're struggling to work through a disability don't understand how to apply for benefits, nor whether or not they may be eligible for benefits.

If you're thinking about applying for Social Security Disability Insurance, consider these 5 do's and don'ts to increase your chances of success!
