If your injury is to another part of your body (ex. back, neck, etc.), results in amputation or permanent loss of use, or injury to more than one body part, it will be considered a non-scheduled injury. A non-scheduled injury will result in a larger possible compensation amount. Similarly, should your loved one's work injury cause their death, there are higher compensation rates.
