[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 5536562, member: 52978"] I broke my thumb pretty badly at work many years ago. Broke it in like 7 or 8 places. It looks a little different, and won't quite bend as far as my good one. The doctor who did the surgery gave me a 1% disability. I protested it and went to another, independent surgeon agreed upon by the union and the company. He ruled it a 3% disability. Back then, each percentage point was worth about 1k in settlement. I think I was off about 9 weeks. I got the settlement, comp and a PIP (personal injury protection) check that basically covered all my wages lost when I was off. PIP was included in my car insurance policy. [/QUOTE]
