What does medical disability mean?
The insurance pays out if a person suffers permanent medical disability as a result of an accident. A person who is medically disabled has sustained a permanent injury that limits normal bodily function, such as loss of sight, hearing or a body part.
Medical disability is graded from 1% to 100% according to public rates, and the degree of disability determines how much of the insurance sum is paid out in the event of an injury.
