Impairment Rating by AMA Guidelines
According to The American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, an impairment rating (IR) is a medical assessment of a claimant’s injury represented by a percentage value. An impairment is defined as a loss, loss of use, or derangement of any body part. An impaired individual may or may not have a disability.
