Beaufort Permanent Disability Attorneys
If you or a loved one has suffered from a permanent disability, you understand the catastrophic impact such an injury can have on both your life and your family's life. Thus, it is important to have a lawyer who understands your medical needs, the relationships with your doctors, your employment situation, and the impact that your injury has had on your quality of life.

Our attorneys at Twenge + Twombley are dedicated to protecting your medical interests, securing financial stability, and ensuring your quality of life with experienced legal representation.
What qualifies as a permanent disability?
Permanent disabilities are lasting disabilities acquired on-the-job or that are work-related and affect your ability to earn a living or return to some type of work.
Permanent disabilities include but are not limited to:
- Paralysis or Paraplegia
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Memory Loss
- Impaired Motor Skills
- Blindness
- Speech Impediments
- Personality Change
- Psychological Disorders
- Depression
- Loss of Limb or Amputated Arms/Legs
Some permanent disorders are short-term and treatable, while others result in traumatic lifestyle changes for both you and your family. Compensation for your serious, permanent disabilities take into account all aspects of your injury including severity, treatability, and future medical needs.
Permanent disabilities are different from permanent impairments. Permanent disabilities require access to different types of benefits than other people, like life-changing differences requiring wheelchair access or Braille for the blind. Permanent impairments are injuries that are life-changing, but they do not prevent you from performing your type or some type of work.
