Maine uses the American Medical Association Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 6th Edition, to determine impairment ratings, which are then converted into weeks of compensation, up to a maximum of 260 weeks for permanent impairment to the body as a whole. There is no fixed statutory schedule of weeks for specific body parts.
