How long does a typical partial disability claim last?

A typical partial disability claim lasts for a duration of 2 to 3 years. This timeframe is informed by the understanding that partial disability benefits are designed to assist individuals who are unable to perform their full job functions due to an injury or illness but are still capable of working in some capacity. The 2 to 3 year period reflects the insurance industry's recognition of the time it often takes for individuals to recover sufficiently and either regain their full capabilities or adapt to a new normal.

Additionally, partial disability claims are structured to encourage rehabilitation and support the individual’s return to work, rather than providing indefinite assistance. This encourages a focus on recovery and reintegration into the workforce, which is beneficial for both the individual and the insurance provider.
