Being my right hand and im right handed. It’s making it difficult to do many things. What can I do to get compensated and make up for all side jobs that I’ve lost?

you are very likely limited to workers compensation benefits. be sure it is turned in. it should pay all medical bills and if you have permanent impairment you can get extra money for that. also- if you cannot work you get weekly benefits while you are injured
