Serving Injured Workers Throughout Summit County
Amputation injuries can be devastating, in some cases leaving you unable to work or function normally in day-to-day life. These injuries are most often caused by malfunctioning machinery, improper use, or inadequate safety measures. However, regardless of who was at fault when you sustained amputation injuries, you may be entitled to workers' comp benefits.
My name is Mark S. Weinberger. For nearly 30 years, I have been pursuing workers' compensation benefits on behalf of workers who have lost fingers, toes, arms or legs. Contact me, an Ohio amputation work injury lawyer, today.

Ohio workers' compensation law provides for cash awards for an amputation injury, including the loss of fingers, hands, arms, toes, feet, and legs. However, loss of an extremity is not necessary for your injury to be deemed an "amputation." For example, ankylosis, the loss of the ability to move your joints, is considered an amputation injury for purposes of seeking workers' compensation benefits.
Generally, a workers' compensation cash award is paid in the form of a "scheduled loss," which is basically a structured schedule of payments, intended to compensate you over your lifetime for your amputation injury. In some cases, when you are left unable to work, an amputation may lead to a permanent total disability.
