One of the monetary benefits available to injured workers through Ohio’s workers’ compensation system is a benefit known as a Permanent Partial Disability (PPD). Unlike other benefits, which typically replace lost wages, PPD awards are most akin to a “damages” award. As a result of a specific work injury, a claimant may find that his or body does not quite function the way it did prior to the injury. This residual impairment is reflected in the PPD award.
