Indiana uses a statutory schedule for certain extremities and sensory organs. For other body parts like the back, neck, shoulder, and knee, permanent partial disability is determined by an impairment rating, often based on the AMA Guides. Attorney fees are capped at 20% of the first $10,000 of compensation and 15% of the remainder, subject to Board approval. There is a monetary cap for total compensation (including TTD) rather than a fixed TTD weekly limit.
