How Much is My Injury Worth?

For this FAQ, we’re going to be strictly covering injuries that result in the permanent loss or permanent disability
of the limb. Permanent Loss or Permanent Disability of a limb or organ typically happens from an extremely traumatic
accident, such as a car accident, truck accident, or a work accident. In these accidents, your limb or organ is
either critically damaged and has to be amputated/removed, or is disabled in such a way that you can no longer use
it and the loss of the limb is now affecting your basic functions.

If you’ve been hurt due to an accident or deliberate act and you’ve lost the use of one of your limbs and now you’re
suffering because of that act or accident, you do have rights and you can get a full recovery and settlement. Gary
Burger and the Personal Injury Lawyers of Burger Law will fight for your FULL rights and make sure that your case is
taken seriously and that your rights are protected. If you’ve lost a limb/appendage, or have another part of your

How much is my Injury worth?

It’s important to first state that no one willingly wants to lose a limb or organ and be partially or permanently
disabled because of it. We want to have healthy, able bodies so that we can work and do the other things that we
love to do. Unfortunately, either because of negligence, random chance, or a deliberate act, limbs and organs can be
permanently disabled or even damaged badly enough that they have to be amputated or removed entirely. This leads to
the obvious question – When you permanently lose the use of a limb or organ, what is that worth in terms of
recovery?

This question can be a little more complex than first imagined. Each state sets a recovery amount for each
organ/limb, and certain limbs/organs are worth more. Here are breakdowns of what your hand and fingers are worth if
permanently injured:

Here is the breakdown of what your other body parts are worth:

These are the set limits for Missouri and Illinois. The specifics of your case may further change what your injury is
worth. To get a clear idea of what your hand injury may be worth, contact our Personal
