Dismemberment schedule

In accident insurance, the dismemberment schedule is a measure for the degree of invalidity. The dismemberment schedule defines percentage rates for limbs (arm, hand, thumb or toes), for organs (e.g. kidney or spleen), and for the sensory organs (e.g. eyes, ears).
 

The value referred to in the dismemberment schedule always corresponds to a full (functional) loss of the defined part of the body. Significantly more frequent, a partial impairment is stated as a fraction, e.g. one fourth of the value for a leg.
