Occupational Disease Claims
Occupational diseases (OD) are diseases resulting from the
employment. There are two ways to establish an occupational disease
which is compensable under the workers' compensation system. An
occupational disease can be proved according to the schedule of
occupational diseases, contained in Ohio Revised Code Section 4123.68
or by the general occupational disease definition contained in Ohio
Revised Code Section 4123.01(F).
Our case index provides
summaries of occupational disease decisions by Ohio courts with
links to the cases.
