Dayton Permanent Disability Benefits Attorney
Some work injuries and illnesses do not heal. They can cause lasting pain or loss of movement. They also change how a person lives each day. When treatment stops helping, you may still get benefits. These benefits give support for long-term harm. A Dayton permanent disability benefits attorney can guide you through this process.
My name is Todd Miller. For over 30 years, I have handled workers’ compensation cases. In 1999, I became a certified specialist in this area through the Ohio State Bar Association. At my firm, Todd Miller Law LLC, I focus my work on helping injured workers get the benefits they need.
Types Of Permanent Disability Benefits In Ohio
There are two main kinds of permanent disability benefits. Permanent total disability (PTD) applies when you cannot work again. Permanent partial disability (PPD) indicates that you can work, but with limitations. For example, a construction worker with an amputation injury may receive PTD benefits. A factory worker who has not completely healed may get PPD compensation.
The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) decides these cases after injured workers reach maximum medical improvement (MMI). MMI means that the injury will not get better, even with more care. A PPD claim uses a percent rating. A PTD claim looks at whether the individual can work at all.
The following are common types of permanent disability benefits:
- Permanent total disability: A person does not have the ability to return to work of any kind.
- Permanent partial disability: An individual has experienced loss of function or continuing complaints.
These benefits may connect to long-term disability claim planning and appeals. I guide clients step by step and explain how these benefits work.
