Supporting Ohio Workers Who Suffered Amputations

Amputation injuries often happen during work activities, especially those involving heavy machinery. Car and motorcycle accidents may result in serious injuries, including amputation. Doctors can also recommend that amputation is necessary when complications develop after a work injury.

Provisions For Workers’ Compensation Benefits After An Amputation Injury

You are entitled to a scheduled loss award if you suffer an amputation. The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) or a self-insuring employer will pay these awards of scheduled losses (amputations).

An injured worker is entitled to an amputation award after sustaining a loss of a body part that is a result of severance through the bone due to a work-related injury. This may also be true if you have lost use of a body part, even if amputation did not occur. If for all practical purposes your body part is of no use, even if not amputated, you are entitled to a scheduled loss award.
