Legal Question in Workers Comp in Missouri

That is indeed what the rating means. After the 2005 changes to Workers' Compensation law, that is the only rating the judge will see UNLESS you have a rating. Since few workers know where to get a rating, that means the insurance company's rating is the only one that will matter. If your injury affects the entire hand, that rating is dreadfully low in most instances. Even if the injury only affects the finger, which is doubtful, it may be low.

You only get one opportunity to get fair compensation for a work related injury. You should contact an experienced injury attorney and discuss your injury in depth. Like most injury only law firms, my firm will discuss your case with you without cost or obligation if you call us.
