If a worker suffers an amputation, loss of vision or total loss of hearing they can claim scheduled loss compensation under Ohio's workers' compensation law. Scheduled loss compensation may also be recoverable if the injured worker has lost the ability to use a body part or has developed ankylosis - a stiffening and immobility of a joint resulting from bone fusion. A worker can receive scheduled loss compensation along with other workers' compensation benefits. In that case the awards will be paid on a consecutive basis.
