12 Docs can read your MRIs and come up with 12 different diagnosis....
;)Workmans comp is not a road you want to travel alone.You need a good lawyer,a great family and good friends to lean on.If you make it thru without losing everything you have worked for all your life,you have come out ahead of the game.....

RE: what does it mean?
100 % Whole Person Impairment is the same as permanent total disability.
Depending on your state, the impairment rating will be used to determine the length and therefor the total amount of additional disability benefits you will be entitled to. yes a diagnosis can change as new tests, findings, symptom emerge. tests are just one component used to refine a diagnosis. |
