RE: Another question..re. settlements vs. perm. disability
P.S.
"impairment" is what the doctor describes as having been lost by the injury -- usually expressed as a rating percentage.
"disability" is how much the imairment rating is worth under your states work comp rules--
rating plus formula and calculations from the labor laws.
