Compensation for lasting physical or functional limitations that impair a person’s ability to live or work normally.
Context on Express Legal Funding
Permanent disability refers to compensation awarded for lasting impairments that significantly impact a person’s ability to function normally, often considered a non-economic damage in personal injury cases. These disabilities can arise from various incidents, including those resulting in severe spinal injuries. If you’re facing a lawsuit related to a permanent disability, understanding your legal options is crucial, and pre-settlement funding can provide financial relief while awaiting a settlement. It’s important to note the difference between permanent disability and temporary total disability benefits, particularly in workers’ compensation cases.
Significance: Considered a non-economic damage.
