4. If the victim survives longer than the beginning of the twenty-first day which follows the day of the accident, Subdivisions 2 to 4 shall apply.
However, if the victim dies before the impairment or major disfigurement can be considered permanent, the percentage of the impairment or disfigurement is determined on the basis of the data available at the time of death. The percentage must be determined by applying Subdivisions 2 to 4, with the necessary modifications, as if the victim were still alive, without taking the death into account.
