For example, in California, the schedule of injuries assigns 32 weeks of benefits for the loss of a right ring finger. This means that an employee who suffers a permanent impairment to their right ring finger would be entitled to 32 weeks of temporary disability benefits, which are typically two-thirds of the employee's pre-injury wages.
In addition to temporary disability benefits, an employee may also be entitled to permanent disability benefits if the impairment is determined to be permanent and disabling. Permanent disability benefits are typically a percentage of the employee's pre-injury wages, and the percentage is based on the severity of the impairment.
It is important to note that workers' compensation benefits can vary significantly from state to state. Therefore, it is important to consult with an attorney or the workers' compensation agency in your jurisdiction to determine the specific benefits that you may be entitled to.
