Definition of total disability
Total disability is when a person is unable to perform their job duties due to a physical or mental impairment. This can be a temporary or permanent condition.
- If a construction worker injures their back and can no longer lift heavy objects, they may be considered totally disabled.
- A person with a severe mental illness that prevents them from concentrating or communicating effectively may also be considered totally disabled.
These examples illustrate how a person's ability to perform their job duties can be affected by a physical or mental impairment, leading to total disability.
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.

Simple Definition
Total disability means that a person is unable to do their job because of a physical or mental problem. It can be temporary or permanent. Partial disability means that a person can still do some work, but not all of it. Developmental disability means that a person has trouble learning or doing things on their own. Permanent disability means that a person will never be able to do their job again. The law may also consider someone to have a disability if they have lost a legal right or privilege because of a criminal conviction.
A 'reasonable person' is a legal fiction I'm pretty sure I've never met.
