odd-lot doctrine

Read a random definition: Settlor

A quick definition of odd-lot doctrine:

The odd-lot doctrine is a rule in workers' compensation that says if someone is injured and can only work occasionally, they may still be considered totally disabled if they can't find steady work and income. This is because they are seen as an "odd lot" in the job market.

A more thorough explanation:

The odd-lot doctrine is a principle in workers' compensation law that allows for a finding of total disability for an injured worker who is unable to secure regular employment and steady income, despite being able to work sporadically. This worker is considered an "odd lot" in the labor market.

For example, if a construction worker injures their back and can no longer perform heavy lifting, they may still be able to work in a sedentary job. However, if they are unable to find such a job and are only able to work sporadically, they may be considered an "odd lot" and eligible for total disability benefits.

Another example could be a musician who injures their hand and can no longer play their instrument professionally. While they may be able to find other types of work, such as teaching music or working in a music store, if they are unable to secure steady employment in these fields, they may also be considered an "odd lot" and eligible for total disability benefits.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
