Does the amount of finger injury compensation depend on which finger or thumb is injured?
“Yes” – some fingers are considered more important for the use of your hand than others and your thumb is considered very important. The more dominant the finger the more compensation you are likely to receive for the same type of injury. The fingers are named as follows working away from your thumb – index finger, middle finger, ring finger and finally little finger. The thumb, index and middle finger are considered the most important for the functioning of your hand with your little finger the least important.
