Question

How much would you get if you lost 1/2 of your right hand ring finger at work in New York State?

Answer 1

Likely nothing - you don't get pain and suffering for workers comp, and it would depend on how much it impairs your future ability to work.  If you're not a musician, You can likely function just as well without it.  Even though I'm sure you miss it a lot.

Answer 2

Whether you would get anything from anybody beyond whatever it takes to stop the bleeding, depends upon whose fault it is.  If there were safety violations, you might have a case.  If it was your own fault, maybe nothing.

You have not provided any details for anyone to guess.  And what happened to the fingertip, that it could not be sewn back on.

Answer 3

This is something you would have to discuss with a good injury lawyer , preferably a reference from a knowledgible individual, not a TV advertiser. You have to check with the state to review your options.
