temporary disability

temporary disability
A disability of the person from which he has or will recover. A disability which is not permanent and which is to last for a limited time only, as distinguished from a disability which is perpetual or indefinite in its duration. See Lawrence v State Industrial Com. 120 Okla 197, 251 P 40. A physical disability which although it may be total for the time, is not such a disability as is reasonably probable to continue for an indefinite period of time. 29A Am J Rev ed Ins § 1529. For the purpose of workmen's compensation, a condition that exists until the injured workman is as far restored as the permanent character of the injuries will permit. 58 Am J1st Workm Comp § 283.
