Class presented ratings…

Reminder, when rating out only one upper extremity use ½ of the full value as given for bilateral purposes… this is not true for lower extremities.

Rate out subjectives etc. and then apply any applicable apportionment… don’t apply apportionment to the subjective while rating out the disability.

The occupational codes can change the rating outcome by several percent, play and use the highest…

If given subjectives for different body parts, rate them out and compare multiple disabilities table.

“That is really what the judge is, a second pair of eyes to watch the adequacy of settlement.”

Try to read the work restriction full descriptions to find the bet fit for the work restrictions given by the doctor.
