How Much Your Body Parts Are Worth in Workers' Compensation

HOW MUCH YOUR BODY PARTS ARE WORTH IN WORKERS' COMPENSATION Employees who are permanently injured on the job are typically compensated by their employers for the damage to their body and future lost wages. However, benefits vary dramatically from state to state. Congress allows each state to determine workers' compensation benefits with no federal minimums. This chart shows the states with the highest and lowest maximum total compensation for each body part as well as the averages for the United States as a whole and for federal employees specifically.
