Re: impairment ratings

32 only relates to the extremity but it is considered when giving 19 for whole body..so you are entitle to 3 weeks IR benefits for each percentage or 57 percent..and hopefully you can return to work..if not you may be entitled to SIBs...but contact an attorney like our firm to understant what you may be facing...
