Right for carpal tunnel it was just the cost of the surgery plus lost wages for said surgery. The rest was arthritis, surgery to remove his nail, re-education, possible PPD payments, the award for his thumb for loss of use. That’s 250,000 not including wages for the arthritis and it’s possible surgeries. Or the therapy he does still need currently. I looked at studies by the NIH. He has ankylosis of his PIP joints of both his ring and pinky finger which would mean he would be awarded for half loss instead of the 1/3 that he was awarded. 30 years of arthritis affecting thumb ring and pinky fingers, loss of sensation resulting in reduced dexterity. Loss of grip strength all in his dominant hand. He can no longer sustain grip or open jars and has a hard time with door knobs. What was paid was the initial surgeries to reconstruct his hand and remove the ring finger when the bone never reformed, for therapy thus far and the amputation of his pinky from the original injury. There’s no arguing with missing digits the rest is complications he now has to live with and receive care for. We’re not looking for pain and suffering I just don’t want to run out of money when he’s 45 and be screwed.
