Key legal question
Whether the impairment compensation had to be calculated at 40% or 50% for multiple separate injuries.
Extracted holding
Distinct and non-interacting impairment damages are to be added; the medical assessment supported a total impairment of 50%.
Extracted reasoning
Article 36(3) UVV requires assessment of the overall impairment, but does not preclude additive calculation of clearly distinguishable injuries. The appellant did not show any mutual influence between the knee and ankle injuries.
