Permanent Impairment Assessments
Assessments measuring the anatomical and functional loss resulting from an injury or illness, in line with state-based legislation.
A permanent impairment assessment determines the level of anatomical and functional loss a worker has experienced as a result of a workplace injury or illness. The assessment is commonly used to quantify lump-sum compensation entitlements, and is completed in line with the legislation and guidelines of the relevant scheme.
Every report, from independent medical examinations to permanent impairment assessments, is prepared with care for accuracy and precision. This gives insurers, employers and legal representatives a reliable basis for resolving claims efficiently.
