Permanent injury refers to a lasting or irreversible physical or psychological harm suffered by an individual as a result of an accident, medical malpractice, or other negligent actions. This injury typically entails long-term or permanent impairment, such as loss of limb function, chronic pain, or psychological trauma. Permanent injuries often have significant impacts on the affected individual’s quality of life, ability to work, and overall well-being. In legal contexts, proving permanent injury may be necessary to pursue compensation or damages in a civil lawsuit or insurance claim.
