Can I sue my employer for my broken finger and if so how much should I ask for?

Worker's comp covers medical expenses and time out of work. You cannot sue your employer for negligence. It sounds like they are offering you a "schedule award" which is based on a formula according to the body part injured, the extent of your disability and your rate of pay, with a credit for anything they have paid you up to now. You should have your lawyer go through this, you may be able to dispute the basis of their calculations. There could be another possibility: there are times when a worker is injured by a machine that was defectively designed. You state that the machine is supposed to be labled "no glove". Why was there no label? Was there one in the past but had worn off or was removed? Could the machine have been designed in such a way that it would not have prevented this danger to you?

I think it sounds trite and disingenous when a lawyer starts off a reply with "I'm so sorry to hear of your situation." But you describe an ordeal which really does merit our sympathy. That being said, much more would be needed in order to establish a medical malpractice case. In order to prove a medical malpractice case, a claimant must prove a failure to conform to accepted practice, resulting in an injury. A bad result is not enough, and if it is a "judgment call" by the doctor, there is no malpractice, even if the doctor made the wrong call. In your situation, it really does sound like they are doing their best to find out what's wrong with you so that you can get effective treatment: you describe numerous tests and specialists, and that sounds like what they should be doing. Medical science is not perfect, so it would your condition is one which competent professionals have simply not been able to achieve success. If you finally do find someone who is able to diagnose you correctly and treat you effectively, then the question will be whether the previous doctors missed something. Is there some ongoing medical program you can get into, as opposed to the ER when it gets really bad?

The owner of the premises where you fell will be libel for your injuries that result from a dangerous condition on the premises, which they knew or should have known about and failed to fix. You should consult with a personal injury attorney immediately.
