Accurate, AMA-Guided Assessments for Upper Extremity Injuries
A Permanent Partial Impairment (PPI) Rating measures the degree of lasting functional loss following an injury. Impairment ratings are completed by Dr. David Galpern, a board-certified hand and upper extremity surgeon with extensive experience applying the AMA guidelines.
Our impairment ratings are objective, consistent, and structured to provide clear medical legal insight for case resolution.
Each PPI focuses solely on the injured body part and includes:
Every report is organized, transparent, and designed to make complex data easy to understand.
With his focused surgical background, Dr. Galpern evaluates hand, wrist, forearm, and arm conditions with a high level of accuracy and consistency.
Impairment Ratings are based on established measurement techniques and AMA methodology. Each conclusion is supported by clinical findings and objective data.
Reports are written in organized, easy-to-understand language, including all relevant measurements, calculations, and rationale. This makes them valuable for hearings, negotiations, disability determinations, and claims decisions.
We understand the importance of moving cases forward and schedule impairment ratings promptly based on case needs.
