error when impairment ratings reduced
Workers Compensation

It Is Error When Impairment Ratings Reduced Because Of Pre-Existing Conditions

Impairment rating is a system used in workers’ compensation to determine the severity of an injury or illness. It measures the extent to which an injured worker has lost the use or function of a body part or organ as a result of the injury. It is determined by doctors who use clinical tests, imaging, and other medical evaluations to rate the level of impairment.

The impairment rating is then used to calculate the amount of compensation that an injured worker is entitled to under the law. Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, and disability benefits. The impairment rating system varies by state, but it is typically based on guidelines established by medical associations.

It is important to note that an impairment rating does not account for the worker’s ability to perform their job duties. In some cases, a worker may still be able to work despite their impairment, while in others, they may not be able to work at all.
