What is a Permanent Disability?

A permanent disability is any form of injury that impairs a person’s ability to perform activities or work, whether physically or mentally, for the rest of their life. There are different types of permanent disability, and a person can be partially or completely disabled. Even if a person can walk and perform duties, that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t have a permanent disability.

Types of Permanent Disabilities

Disability injuries can vary depending on the nature of the accident. Though they can also vary in severity, disabilities generally prevent a person from returning to work or living their personal lives in the way they did before the accident.

Common Causes of Disability Injuries

Disabilities can result from a wide range of accidents, though there are common accidents our team works with that are known to produce catastrophic and permanent injuries.

Common causes of disabilities include:

• Car accidents: Because car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in the United States, it’s no surprise that they can also cause disabilities. Head-on collisions are one of the most dangerous types of accidents and occur when the front ends of two cars collide. These types of accidents can produce head and brain injuries that individuals may never be able to recover from, as they can cause permanent brain damage. Serious car accidents are often caused by speeding and reckless driving, as well as by driving while intoxicated.
• Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists often experience more serious injuries than passenger car drivers because of their lack of outer protection, as well as seat belts. It’s all too common for motorcyclists to be thrown from their bikes upon collision, and they can easily suffer from injuries like internal bleeding, brain trauma, spinal cord and neck injuries, and more.
• Pedestrian accidents: Individuals are extremely vulnerable to disability injuries when they’ve been struck by vehicles due to their lack of protection and the sheer weight, size, and speed of the vehicles.
