Welcome to the ONLY guide you’ll ever need on workers comp impairment ratings! In this video I explain how impairment ratings determine the level of your disability and how this affects your benefits, especially in New York. You'll learn about the differences between permanent partial disabilities and schedule loss of use, and why your impairment rating is crucial for calculating your loss of wage earning capacity (LWEC). I also cover how doctors assess your impairment and the importance of being honest about prior injuries. If you have multiple injuries or disagree with your rating, I discuss what steps you can take in those situations. And as always, I remind everyone how having a lawyer can make a big difference in navigating this complex process!

Great video. Have a question. If I’m out on Worker’s Comp due to an injured shoulder that needed surgery and I injured the opposite shoulder from overuse… Can that be a new Worker’s Comp claim? Thx
Yea it can. It happened to me.. 👍🏼
YES- this is a textbook "consequential injury." Have you discussed this with your lawyer and doctor?
If you don't have a lawyer and need assistance, please feel free to call me at 212-406-8989.
Hello Rex, is there any relation between impairment rating and settlement? If I get high impairment rating mean I will have automatically high settlement amount ? Thanks
There is a relationship but there are other factors such as work status and AWW that must also be considered.
🙏
Can i reapply permanent partial disability again once the weeks they give me for the rating is done and my injury is not healed?
Yes! you must do so before the CAP weeks expire. If your level of disability is over 75% you must apply for hardship within the last year of the cap. Otherwise, if you injury has worsened you could potentially apply for reclassification. Good luck

How much for bilateral knee replacement??
How is bilateral knee replacements caulated in workers comp?
My ortho surgeon is very arrogant and a horrible listener, I fell at work in January 2024 and the medical folks misdiagnosed me, saying no fracture, after walking in my hip 4 months and pt the hip was destroyed ( u should had been non weight bearing) anyways I have a physical job and there is no way I can do the job, it he feels his work is so good all his patients can get back to work within 2 months ( I run a kitchen ) he is unapproachable, I fear getting re injured if I go back to soon, not sure what to do
Your rapport with your doctor is just as important as that with your lawyer. You should feel comfortable and confidant with both. Perhaps a chat with the doctor’s physician assistant or office manager might help. Good luck!

@10:27 What about degenerative disc disease aggrivation that you dint know you had?
They will likely consider the nature of the pre-existing condition and its impact on your overall level of disability. Its an apportionment issue, but your lawyer should be able to rebut it to some degree, depending on what your own doctor has to say.
