How This Estimate Is Calculated
Arizona sets specific rules for how weekly benefits are calculated. Applied to a Amputation — Finger/Hand claim, here's what that produces.
Arizona pays 67% of your average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $1094/week. For a Amputation — Finger/Hand claim, the typical temporary disability period is 16 weeks, with settlement multipliers ranging 2.0x–5.0x. See the full methodology for where this range comes from and what it doesn't include.
Here's the actual math: on a $1,000 average weekly wage, Arizona's formula puts your weekly benefit at $667. Over the typical 16-week recovery window for Amputation — Finger/Hand, that's $10,667 in wage-replacement before any settlement multiplier is applied. Multiplying that by this injury's typical 2.0x–5.0x range is what produces the $21,300–$53,300 estimate above. Your own number will differ based on your real wage — use the calculator on the homepage to plug in your actual figure.
What This Estimate Doesn't Account For
This range doesn't include several things that can meaningfully change a real settlement: your specific impairment rating once you reach MMI, whether the case is disputed, and any future medical treatment beyond the initial injury.
Surgery is common for Amputation — Finger/Hand, and a surgical case typically settles toward the higher end of this range — or above it — since surgery usually means a longer recovery and a higher permanent impairment rating.
