Hi Michael,
Hi Michael. The permanent impairment rating for your wrist requires an equation that would need to be multiplied by your compensation rate (the amount of money you received in your weekly). The higher impairment rating, the larger the amount of money. I would caution you that if it was a doctor of the work comp insurance company's choosing that did the impairment rating, he or she may have issued an impairment that is lower than it should be. You are entitled to have a doctor of your choosing perform an impairment rating, and I think that is important to do.
The equation would look like this. 210 weeks x .35 impairment = 73.5 weeks, which you would then multiple by your compensation rate.
I've also published the following manual for NH and VT Work Comp Law for Injured Workers, which may be helpful: https://sabbethlaw.com/practice-areas/workers-compensation/
I wish you the best of luck. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out.
