I appreciate you at least putting it up for a vote I don't care what's been said about you by the other members, you're a good man. Any relation to the Reinhart's that use to have an auto repair shop in Clearwater?

That may have worked a couple of years ago but to the best of my knowledge they sold the business.

I use Color Concepts in Clearwater for paint / body work. I've dealt with them for years – good guys to work with.

Wes, if you lose both arms, there is a combined values chart. It's not linear math. 60% + 60% = 84% permanent partial impairment.

A lot of doctors think that way too and miscalculate the true impairment of a person.

obviously...how are u 60% impaired with the loss of ONE arm...i mean come on...i know an arm is useful and all but isnt walking at least 75% of movement....and cant the other arm still accomplish 50% of the things u'll need to do...i would say 35% impairment is pushing it.....

undoubtably...but there is only soo much of me to go around....

i had to make a choice on whether to design impairment charts or sit at a desk posting to g35driver....

as a wise japanese man once said...
"if its for the club, it must be done"

screw those saps and their 245% impairments

That sounds awfully high. We use the AMA guide around here. However, it appears one of my underlings has snatched it.

As a point of reference, I (hypthetically) have two (hypothetical) arm off claims: one for a 53y/o female, another for a 34y/o derilict male: both have a (hypothetical) value of approximately $600k each--before reducing the shizznit out of them for their own stupidity. I hope to try one of them!

How about if you lose both of your thumbs. That would be worse. You would be less like a human and more like a kangaroo or ostrich. Try installing your POP charger or clear corners then. Oh wait Shermie can't do that now.

HEHE! Uh oh!
