Ohio WC Terms: Subrogation

Subrogation

Subrogation provides for the BWC or self-insured employer to receive reimbursement of workers' compensation benefits paid where the injured worker has a third party action because of the injury. A third party action exists when a worker suffers an injury in the course of their employment which gives them a right to workers' compensation and also gives them a right to sue someone in tort.
