Cincinnati Disability Lawyers
Permanent Total Disability occurs when an employee suffers an injury or occupational disease, which renders that person permanently unable to reenter the workforce at any level. In these situations, the Ohio workers’ compensation system provides a type of compensation that will compensate the injured worker for the rest of his or her life.
No one plans to be injured or fall ill due to the work that they are doing. So when this occurs, injured workers hope for a quick and full recovery. Unfortunately, however, some conditions are worse than others, and some workers find themselves unable to ever work again.
If you have found yourself in this position, you may feel helpless. After all, if you can’t continue to work, how are you supposed to pay your medical bills? Will you ever be able to make a steady income again?
Luckily, however, all hope is not lost. With Permanent Total Disability, the most seriously injured and ill workers have a way to continue to be able to pay their bills and—in most cases—stay financially stable. When Permanent Total Disability is filed correctly, and for the right person, it can be very beneficial to those whose injuries have taken away the possibility of returning to work.

The workers’ compensation system is bureaucratic and full of red tape. An unfortunate result is that many people who may be permanent and totally disabled have no idea of how to acquire this kind of compensation.

The process is intentionally made to be difficult, as permanent total disability is meant to be granted only to the most seriously injured workers.
