The number between 0 and 100 assigned to an injury in Queensland that fixes the amount of general damages.
Queensland civil liability legislation gives every injury an injury scale value, or ISV, within a range set for that type and severity of injury. The ISV converts to a fixed dollar amount of general damages. The medical assessment of permanent impairment feeds into where in the range the injury sits.
