What Is Disability in Personal Injury Law?

Disability refers to a physical or mental impairment that limits a person’s ability to perform daily activities, work, or enjoy life as they did before an injury. In personal injury law, disabilities often result from accidents, such as car crashes, workplace incidents, or medical malpractice. Victims who experience temporary or permanent disability may be entitled to compensation for their loss of income, medical expenses, and reduced quality of life.
