Hawaii primarily uses the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment for most permanent partial disability ratings (e.g., back, neck, shoulder, knee), as these body parts do not have fixed scheduled loss weeks. Specific scheduled loss weeks are provided for certain extremities and senses as outlined in HRS §386-32(a). Attorney fees are tiered, not a single percentage.
