Applying Nuance, Compassion, and a Knack for Details to Secure Victories for Injured Ohio Workers

Theodor “Teddy” Truta-Moldovan is an Associate Attorney at NRS Injury Law, focusing on workers’ compensation law. Courageous in trial, compassionate during client consultation, and well-organized in case-building, Teddy leaves no detail unexplored when crafting winning cases for injured Ohio workers.

A First-Generation Attorney with Working-Class Roots

Teddy’s background is such a classic American story, one cannot help but smile upon hearing it. Born in Romania but raised in the U.S., Teddy grew up in a working-class family to parents who left accomplished careers in Eastern Europe to pursue the American dream. From a very young age, Teddy learned the value of hard work, the importance of discipline, and the significance of community.

While in undergrad, Teddy worked as an intern, legislative page, constituent aide, and legislative aide for the Ohio House of Representatives. He quickly saw first-hand the importance of the law and how laws affect working Ohioans. Teddy describes it best: “My time in the State House was just the start, because, while I was in law school, I clerked for three law firms and saw a repeat of what I’d observed at the State House. The short version? Working people are at a disadvantage when injured, even with laws on the books to protect them.”

Committed to Overcoming Obstacles and Securing Victories for Injured Workers

Teddy has phenomenal organizational skills in his career as a workers’ compensation attorney, something he credits to a lifetime of unsurpassed work ethic and an understanding that attention to detail leads to success. Teddy has won numerous cases for his clients, utilizing a combination of detail-oriented nuance, personal compassion, and a willingness to research, consult, and examine a case from multiple angles to determine a winning strategy.

In addition to his legal skillset, Teddy is personally committed to helping others. “When I was still in college, my mother got injured at her job at Walmart,” Teddy said, describing his path to workers’ comp law. “My parents had taken working-class jobs in America even though they’d held high-level professional positions in Romania,” Teddy continued. “They came to the U.S. to pursue a dream we all believed in, and when my mom got injured, it was the crucible moment that led me to dedicate my life to helping injured workers.”

Work/Life Balance

When he’s not representing his clients and researching employment law, Teddy spends his free time with other attorneys in the Cleveland Metro Bar Association’s basketball league. Teddy is also an avid weightlifter and skier. On quiet weekends in Cleveland, he can be found going for walks with his partner and their dog, Pippin.
