YOU ASK:
What is the definition of Partial Disability?
WE ANSWER:
Partial Disability refers to the fact that a person's ability to perform common tasks is reduced as a result of an injury or illness. However, that person can still do other activities or work. It refers to the person's inability to perform a substantial portion (but not all) of his duties in his job or for any other job, whether on a part time or full time basis. It can also mean that the person can fully do his job or any other job only on a part time basis.
Employees who have partial disability are entitled to benefits from workmen's compensation based on a percentage table, as well as the evaluation of a qualified physician.
