What Does Your Total Body Impairment Mean

[geona]

In 2008 i was working at a manufacturing plant when my right hand was amputated. To make a long story short
Four years and twelve surgurys later the hand was replanted with almost no function and extreme chronic pain.
my question is 58% impairment what does it mean, is it alot, can i get disability from WC. All the information i get from WC is that they want me to go back to work(i was fired from the orginal job)
