I received a 5% impairment on both hands
What is an impairment rating payout for 50% impairment rating?
An impairment rating is a rating that tries to assign a value to your best recovered state after an injury. Lets say that you had normal grip strength and now you have 75% of that grip strength. There are tests and charts and exams etc.. that can determine what percentage this would be. Every state can be different because it involves workers comp too. So the orthopedist may determine that you have a 15% impairment rating to your hand as a whole and 3% to the arm as a whole. Then you would have to see how much that translates to under your work comp laws.
The average impairment rating for a torn rotator cuff ranges from 5% to 20%, depending on the severity and extent of the injury. This rating is typically determined by a medical professional using standardized guidelines to assess the loss of function and range of motion in the affected shoulder.

Too many variables to give amount..see excerpt from Tenn work comp site How is a settlement determined?A settlement is appropriate when, after an injured employee reached maximum medical improvement, the employee retains a disability resulting from the work-related injury. The employee's treating physician will determine in writing a percentage of Impairment and state the part of the body affected. This is called an "impairment rating." There are many variables in the computation of a rating but the percentage will be based on standard criteria used by all physicians to determine the percentage of impairment retained. A Workers' Compensation Specialist can assist in figuring an appropriate range of settlement for vocational disability, however, the Specialist will need to know the exact wording the doctor used when giving the rating, percentage of Impairment the treating physician assigned, which body part was injured, and Employee's weekly compensation rate.
