Idaho uses a statutory schedule for specific body parts. For unscheduled injuries (e.g., back, neck, shoulder, knee), permanent impairment is rated using the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, as per Idaho Code §72-425 and §72-428. Attorney fees are determined by the Industrial Commission, not a fixed percentage.
