With permanent partial disability, the types of disabilities are categorized as scheduled impairment or non-scheduled impairment. Scheduled impairment involves the loss of vision, hearing, legs, fingers, hands, arms, toes, or feet, which affects the amount of compensation.
Non-scheduled impairment refers to the loss of function of body parts not listed as scheduled, such as the spine, lungs, or cognitive abilities. Compensation for non-scheduled impairments is based on a physician’s rating, age, a fixed number of weeks, and the total temporary disability rate.
