In the United States, the duration for which you can collect workers' compensation benefits varies by state and the specifics of your case. Typically, you can receive benefits for a certain number of weeks based on the severity of your injury and your ability to return to work. Some states offer benefits until you can return to work or until you reach maximum medical improvement, while others have specific time limits. It's essential to consult your state's workers' compensation guidelines or a legal expert for precise information.

I'm not absolutely positive about California, but most states do it like this. I've been researching that answer myself cause I have the same problem. After your injury is healed the doctor will give you a disability percentage for that finger. There is usually a set amount of weeks that finger is worth. Your payout will be 2/3 your weekly pay at the set amount of weeks. Your thumb being worth the most. I don't know how many weeks your ring finger is. I know the middle finger is 30 weeks and I'm wanting to say 20 for that finger. So basically it could depend on how much you make. Or if you feel like it you can sue a third party and get a lot more if the accident wasn't your fault or was the fault of a machine. While you can't sue your employer (because of workman's comp) you can sue, possibly, the company that made the machine. Keep in mind workman's comp pays for scarring also. You probably need to talk to a lawyer after you get your disability rating, they may be able to get you more money. (but they will take 20%).
Texas is the only voluntary Comp state. But employers and general contractors remain liable for the workers' injuries (including subcontractors who lack Workers' Comp coverage) and should opt out correctly - according to the state rules, filing their decision with the state and posting the proper notice to employees & subcontractors. Employers in all states need to realize they remain liable if they don't have coverage, and that their employees and their employees' families can sue them. An alternative to Workers Comp for subcontractors (and employees who opt out of Workers' Comp) is Occupational Accident - especially if paired with Contingent Liability (contractors only - not employees), it can be cheaper than Comp and can in many ways provide even better coverage. It's not the same, though, and the Occupational Accident and Contingent Liability policies need to be compared closely.
They and many others.
