Scheduled Loss / Scheduled Injury
Benefit & Wage Terms
Definition
An injury type — usually loss of a specific body part or function, like a finger or hearing — with a compensation amount set by a fixed statutory table rather than case-by-case negotiation.
Why It Matters
Scheduled injuries are often more predictable in value than non-scheduled ones, since the state has already set the formula.
