Effective July 1, 2017, with the passing of Ohio House Bill 207, if an employer can establish that their employee was in a motor vehicle accident caused by a third party, the employer can now request to have that accident charged against the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation surplus fund and not the employer’s experience.
