How Much Cash Are Your Body Parts Worth? Every State Has a Different Answer

Let’s say you lose a hand at work today.  I’m not sure how that would happen . . . maybe it gets caught in your desk drawer while you’re reaching for candy?  But let’s just say it happens.

Did you know someone’s already figured out exactly how much money that hand was worth?

Every state sets its own worker’s comp numbers . . . and has a chart that says how much you should get paid if you lose different body parts.

For example, Nevada is the best place to lose a hand . . . they say it’s worth $738,967.  Alabama only thinks one is worth $37,400.

Now, if you’re injured on the job and sue for worker’s comp, you might get more than the “list price” . . . but it’s probably a good jumping off point to get a sense of the payout you can expect.
