You can and do get money for losing a limb if the limb is lost on a job.

If you're working for an employer and you somehow lose a limb due to an accident that was a result of negligence of the company then yes you can sue and get money for the lost limb.

You'll need a personal injury lawyer to help you win the lawsuit and case against the employer to be able to sue and get the compensation for the lost limb.

The compensation for a finger or other limbs that has been lost in an injury is between $18,000.00 to $35,000.00 depending on which finger.

Also workers' comp will provide 66 and 2/3 percent of your monthly wages if you have complete lost a limb or finger as in amputation, or have completely lost all use of the limb.

Loss of an arm is worth 312 weeks of workers' comp benefits.

The fact that you have had a body extremity amputated does not automatically qualify you for disability benefits.

The only exception to this rule is if you have both hands amputated, a leg amputated up through the hip joint (hip disarticulation), or a pelvic amputation (hemipelvectomy).

The average settlement value for a broken arm in a personal injury lawsuit is around $50,000.00 to $80,000.00

Upper arm fractures are worth more than lower arm fractures.

If you do get injured on a Job site and it's a fault of the employer or negligence of the employer that lead to the personal injury you should hire a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
