More details to this question:
Insurance co for employer offered very little for loss of index finger use (half of it was amputated) but it is useless for trying to run anything with a trigger - chainsaw, hunting rifle, spray gun, nail gun, etc.

On workers compensation claims there is no payment for pain and suffering in Pennsylvania. The loss of use is based upon guidelines and a workers compensation attorney should be able to explain how that is computed.
