A-2.1.2.2.4 Invaliditätsgrad bei Beeinträchtigung mehrerer Körperteile oder Sinnesorgane, Accident Basis Plus

A-2.1.2.2.4 Degree of permanent impairment where several parts of the body or sense organs are impaired. Several parts of the body, internal organs or sense organs may be impaired by one accident. The degrees of permanent impairment determined under the preceding provisions are then added together. German law applies to the contract. The German wording of the conditions alone is binding; this translation is provided for understanding only. If the function of both eyes or the hearing in both ears is impaired to the same extent, the degree of permanent impairment established is increased by half. If the function is restricted to different extents, the degree of permanent impairment for the less damaged eye or the less damaged hearing is doubled instead. More than 100 per cent is, however, not taken into account. Example: as a result of an accident an arm has completely lost its function (70 per cent) and the function of a leg is impaired by half (35 per cent). Even though the degrees of permanent impairment add up to 105 per cent, the permanent impairment is limited to 100 per cent.
