Workers' compensation payouts for cervical injuries, such as those at C6, C7, and C8, vary widely based on factors like the severity of the injury, the impact on the individual's ability to work, and state-specific compensation laws. Generally, compensation may cover medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages. In severe cases leading to permanent disability, payouts can be substantial, potentially totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's essential to consult with a workers' compensation attorney or specialist for an accurate assessment tailored to the specific circumstances of the injury.

A cervical injury can damage the spinal cord, leading to paralysis, loss of sensation, and potential loss of function in the arms, legs, and other parts of the body below the injury site.

Thank you for your question. My answer is "No." However, an injury to the cervical spinal nerves or those even lower, like an injury to the axillary (armpit) nerves or those in the elbow region can cause the symptoms of a pinched nerve with pain in the wrist. Pain would be located at the nerve injury or down the limb from the injured nerve. The only way a wrist injury could possibly cause a pinched nerve to your cervical region is if your wrist injury caused you to hold your wrist in a position that would strain your neck and pinch the nerves there. Very difficult to do.
