Impairment Rating

Impairment rating is a medical assessment that measures how much a person's physical or mental abilities are affected after an injury or illness. It quantifies the extent of disability or loss of function to determine eligibility for benefits, compensation, or accommodations. Typically expressed as a percentage, a higher rating indicates a greater level of impairment. This standardized evaluation helps ensure fairness and consistency in determining what support or compensation an individual may need due to their condition.
