Dear Sirs:
Yes, you may have a workmen's compensation case for the scar as well as for any disability to the arm you may have.
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Re: fell at work
If you have filed a worker's compensation claim, your scar will be included in the package settlement. You are entitled to your wage loss, payment of all your medical bills, any disfigurement and/or temporary disability.
You would be best off to get the help of an attorney. The insurance adjuster that you will have to deal with--if you do not have an attorney--is trained and has a lot of experience convincing people without an attorney to settle their case for a fraction of what their case is worth. The same adjuster will have a completely different attitude when faced with someone who knows how to play the game.
I hope this helps,
