What is the name of your state? New York
I had an on the job injury which required surgery to my dominant wrist. I was out of work for 3 weeks after the surgery (which didn't get approved by WC until 8 months after the injury). I have finished therapy and my doctor gave me a 17% loss of use of my hand. I am scheduled for an "independent" medical examination by the State Insurance Fund's doctor.
After he determines what he feels is my % loss, how is compensation determined? Is there a table that is used to determine the actual dollar amount?
