Profile
Board-Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist
Monast Law Office is a highly respected firm in Upper Arlington, dedicated to helping injured workers and their families. Founded in 1985 by James P. Monast, the firm distinguishes itself through a deep level of expertise in Ohio Workers’ Compensation law. James Monast is among the first attorneys in the state to be Board Certified as a Specialist in this field, a distinction that underscores his commitment to mastering the complexities of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC). Unlike general practitioners, this firm focuses intensely on ensuring that employees injured on the job receive the medical care and financial benefits they are entitled to by law.
Focused Legal Services
Monast Law Office provides comprehensive support for those facing the aftermath of workplace accidents and disabling conditions. Their primary practice areas include:
- Workers’ Compensation: Handling claims for on-the-job injuries, from initial filing to appeals of denied claims.
- Occupational Diseases: Representing workers suffering from long-term exposure illnesses such as respiratory conditions or repetitive stress injuries.
- Personal Injury: Assisting clients with work-related auto accidents and third-party liability claims.
- Long-Term Disability: Guiding clients through ERISA claims and other disability benefit processes.
A Client-First Philosophy
With over 40 years of experience, James Monast understands that a work injury knocks you down not just physically, but financially and emotionally. The firm’s goal is to ‘rewrite the playbook’ in your favor, countering the tactics often used by self-insured employers and the BWC to minimize payouts. If you need to find a lawyer who can navigate the specific bureaucratic hurdles of the Ohio industrial commission, Monast Law Office is the answer. They offer a free consultation to review your case and operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay unless they recover back pay or benefits for you. Located in the quiet Arlington Centre office park, the firm provides a professional yet accessible environment for clients to discuss their needs. When you hire an attorney here, you are getting a dedicated advocate who treats your case with the personal attention it deserves.
