9. Where a victim has several injuries or mutilations, the percentage of permanent impairment is computed on the basis of 100 for the most severe impairment, and the subsequent percentages, starting with the highest, are computed on the successive remainders, in accordance with Schedule C.
However, this principle does not apply in the case of an injury or mutilation for which the percentage is 5% or less, such percentage being added in full to the other percentages. Nor does it apply in the case of injury or mutilation to the hand.
Where such readjusted permanent impairment is 90% or higher, the maximum amount contemplated in section 6 shall be accorded to the victim.
