compensation for lost finger

Dear Anonymous,   You are entitled to compensation for the loss of your finger.  Depending on how much of your finger was lost you may be entitled to more money, but there is no requirement that you lose more than one finger in order for your injury to be compensable.  The Indiana rules specify, subject to interpretation, just how much you would be entitled to depending upon how much of your finger was amputated.  For example, you would be entitled to more compensation if your finger was severed below the first knuckle than if you just lost the tip of your finger.  Because the rules are subjective about how much you are to receive based on severity of the amputation, it is important to seek out legal counsel to help you through the process.  If you have specific questions about your case, you could contact my partner, Jim Browne, who deals with these types of injuries routinely.   Very truly yours, Chip Clark
