How much is index finger worth in workers compensation
I'm sorry, but I can't provide specific information about the rate for trigger finger surgery with South Carolina worker's compensation as it can vary depending on various factors, such as the medical provider, the severity of the condition, and the specific workers' compensation policies in place. It's best to consult with a workers' compensation representative or a medical provider in South Carolina to get accurate and up-to-date information regarding the costs and coverage for trigger finger surgery under the state's workers' compensation program.
In the UK the amounts you can claim in compensation or a trigger finger injury depends on several factors including whether the condition has permanent symptoms and whether surgery is necessary.

That depends on how you lost it. If you lost it due to your own carelessness you probably won't. If you lost it because of a safety problem at work or some public place, maybe. An attorney can tell you.
The amount of worker's compensation received will depend on the finger lost. Federal guidelines require the complete loss of a thumb to be paid at 75 weeks' compensation and the complete loss of the first finger to be paid at 46 weeks' compensation. The weeks, compensation is based on current pay of the employee and may be adjusted based on the percentage of loss. For instance, if one quarter of the first finger is lost, the adjustment may pay out at one fourth of the 46 weeks' compensation.
You are only eligible for compensation if it was someone elses fault and you can prove it in court.
That depends, Who's insurance are you claiming for compensation? Your own medical insurance? You can expect the company to cover associated medical costs minus your deductible. If your claiming liability on the part of another person, You would receive the amount commensurate with your loss. Associated medical costs and any provable lost future earnings that result from your impairment up to the policy limits of the responsible party.

I actually asked this question because I was getting frustrated with trying to find the answer to help my husband. However, of course I found the answer after asking the question! I found real help answering my question on the following website: http://www.workerscompensationinsurance.com, the answer provided by: Bob Bollinger, Attorney at Law and Board Certified Specialist in NC Workers' Compensation Law, Charlotte, NC However, since I have done extensive research about this on many websites I am also adding this other information in the hopes of helping anyone in a similar situation. If you live in IL, this website is very helpful:http://www.woodrufflawyers.com/CM/WorkersCompensation/Guide-To-Workers-Compensation-In-Illinois.asp I found looking for information on websites set up by lawfirms that deal with workmen's compensation issues very helpful. The workmen's comp. settlement will depend on the impairment rating given to the, in this case, index finger by the doctor when you are released from his/her care. I know from experience that the doctor may not tell you, so in this case you need to find this out from the insurance company that covers your work injuries. In IL, it varies slightly in certain states, an index finger is worth 40 weeks of benefits if it is permanently partially disabled, as is the case with my husband, and he received a 5% impairment rating. It is important to note that there are several types of Permanent Partial Disability and that total loss of use of an index finger is worth 46 weeks. Concerning Weekly Benefits: You are entitled to 66 2/3% percent of your average weekly wage during any period of time you are unable to work because of the injury. This payment is tax-free and is based on the average weekly earnings during the 52 weeks prior to the injury. So, to calculate his particular settlement, I first calculated 5% of 40 weeks (5*.40)=2. My husband's weekly wage was $560, so 560*.66(2/3)=246.40. He was gone 7 work days, so 246.4/5=$49.28/workday, so 246.4+98.56(49.28*2)=$344.96 and then you take 344.96*2=$689.92 Additionally, employees are entitled to compensation for disfigurement (scarring).
