Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

NOT ENOUGH, but your elected officials don't think people who lose fingers should receive more than a couple thousand dollars!!! I wish people would vote against all the current State Assemblymen and State Senators, but they just keep re-electing them. PAYMENT DEPENDS ON WHAT (1) the Primary Treating Physician wrote, and (2) What the Qualified Medical Evaluator wrote.

There is no set payment for loss of two fingers. If you had an attorney, you could ask for psychiatric disability because the loss of two fingers involved a 'sudden or traumatic event' now required for a psychiatric injury, and you could request benefits for chronic pain from the phantom pain that comes with lost digits. if the pain interrupts your sleep, you could plead a Sleep Disorder or Neurological injury. If you don't do this immediately, you won't have time to develop the evidence records before the Insurer requests a trial on the injury as you first submitted it.

Why you are asking this here instead of going to your attorney is befuddling...if you have an attorney, that person will be awarded hundred$ or thou$and$ of YOUR money, you should insist on a face=to-face meeting with the actual lawyer (not the secretary or legal assistant) and insist on terms you can understand.

and if you don't have a lawyer and you've lost half your hand...you might have a brain injury too.
