I am going on to the 4th operation of my right wrist and
ultimately this will be a complete fusion. I am from CA and a
preliminary aportionment rating was 14% ( rediculous) 14%
translated into the rating schedule (dollar amount) was near
15000.00
You are not going to get rich off work comp snf focussing on
how much money its worth, in my opinion is not what you should
be concerned with. Wrist injuries are long term and ver
complicated that can and usually do end up being a life
altering experience. If your worried about money then I'm sure
you will be very dissapointed at "what its worth" compared to
what it's worth to have a functioning hand in the years to come
