A partial disability is a condition that limits a person's ability to work or perform daily tasks to some degree, without entirely preventing it. Workers' compensation and other disability insurance policies often provide a certain amount of coverage for partial disabilities.
Partial disabilities are distinguished from total disabilities. Total disabilities are those that completely prevent a person from working. Full disability benefits are often given to those who have total disabilities. However, only partial benefits may be given to those who have partial disabilities.
