Ohio Workers' Compensation Disability Attorney
If your workplace injury resulted in a permanent total disability (PTD), you are entitled to receive lifetime benefits based on your average weekly earnings for 52 weeks prior to your accident. Under Ohio workers' compensation law, this benefit is the closest thing to Social Security disability benefits.
Qualifying injuries must be catastrophic. To receive PTD benefits, you must show that your injury will not allow you to perform any work tasks, in any type of job. Filing a successful PTD claim will be one of the toughest challenges you will face with the Ohio BWC.
Statutory Permanent Total Disability
There are two options for filing for compensation for a permanent total disability. The first way, of course, is to prove that your injury resulted in a complete disability. By statute, however, you can also receive PTD benefits if your injury resulted in the amputation or loss of two or more limbs or other body parts.
