Determining Your Scheduled Loss Award Is Complex
Unfortunately, some workplace injuries are forever. If you suffered a permanent partial disability in a workplace accident, the amount of Ohio workers' compensation benefits you receive will be determined by the scheduled loss award, determined by the Ohio BWC.
What Is the Disability Scheduled Loss Award?
Primarily, the disability scheduled loss covers the amputation or ankylosis (disuse) of a part or function of your body. The disability loss schedule is easiest to understand as a kind of insurance policy covering every finger, toe, hand, foot and limb of your body. The loss of each digit, limb or body function equates to a specific number of weeks of compensation, according to the amount assigned on the disability loss schedule.
You Must Apply for Your Scheduled Loss Award
The Ohio BWC won't necessarily award you the benefit for your amputation or ankylosis injury unless you aggressively fight for it. It's money that is awarded on top of wage loss and living maintenance benefits. Don't leave it on the table. You will need the money for a lifetime of physical rehabilitation and medical treatment that regular workers' comp benefits simply won't cover.
