How much money worker comp pay for 15 percent whole person impairment?

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.

In Tennessee what is a carpal tunnel impairment of five percent for each hand equal to in dollar range?
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.

That really can't be answered here..because every state has different work comp laws and there are different impairment ratings and such for the whole arm and hand so every case is a case by case situation. It can depend on your job and whether you can go back to that job and be fully functional vs restricted work.
You had carpal tunnel surgery in both hand how much should you ask for?
Perhaps nothing. More than likely, if this is workers comp they have already expended at least 15k-30K for surgeon/physician fees, hospital, medicine, lab bills,time off work etc.. If for instance after your surgery you do not have any type of impairment to your hands (which typically happens more in non-work comp cases) you would usually not be entitled to any additional money because like I said you have received thousands of dollars of free care already. On the other hand, pun intended, if your ortho hand surgeon gives you an impairment rating..it will be given to the hand and then to the upper extremities and then to the body as a whole. So it is impossible to tell you how much you should ask for, because if your surgery went great and you have no residual symptoms you may be entitled to very little vs if you had severe CTS and permnanent damage and a large impairment can be proven you may be entitled to more. Remember lawyers will get about 25-30% off the top if they are involved.
