Percentages are based at a percent of 100% in disability cases. So if a person is slightly injured or disabled, it could be as low as (00) 1 %. The more extreme the impairment, the higher the percentage of disability ranking. So, a person who is unable to use any of his 4 limbs and is blind would likely get a 100% disability ranking.
Note that in most scientific or research uses, there is no such thing as 100% -- instead, the highest a researcher could say is 99.9%, because there is always a possibility of some variant that makes a study NOT have a result at 100%. But in disability-medical evaluations, they use a 0 to 100% ranking.
If you are going for Worker's Comp, a doctor paid for by your employer will always rank you lower than what your condition suggests. So you should consult an attorney and go to another doctor for an evaluation. Then, the doctor's reports are both placed into evidence and the decision will usually fall somewhere between the two suggested rankings given in the reports.
If you are seeking Social Security disability (full or supplemental), you can appeal the suggested percentage by presenting evidence (e.g. additional medical reports) that support your claim. But Social Security maintains the position that if a person can do ANY work, then that person is NOT 100% disabled. Most people ranked under 100% disabled qualify for a temporary supplemental disability income, not full Social Security.
