RE: lost my thumb
most states have a disability schedule that makes additional disability payments for amputations. If you are in an impairment state once recovery has been completed the doctor will send an impairment rating to the comp board for them to calculate the additional payments.

RE: lost my thumb
I am sorry to hear of your injury. There is compensation for a loss of any body part. You should be compensated for that ,and there is a percentage like 1171 stated depending on what state you are in.
Welcome to the forum. carpal tunnel recurrence/ neuropathy / RSD. 1/29/07 injury date. Permanent. PIR settlement 8/4/08 10% |

RE: lost my thumb
each state has individual caselaw decisions as to whether "glasses" would be considered part of the injury. some states may since there was also an accompanying physical injury.
you'll have to contact the carrier or the TWCC to see what the caselaw is on that issue. |
