What is a necessary requirement for a condition to be classified as an injury?

For a condition to be classified as an injury, it is essential that it causes disability. This means that the injury must have a tangible impact on a person's ability to function in daily life or perform their job. The legal and medical frameworks often define an injury in terms of loss of ability, whether temporary or permanent.

While hospitalization or confirmation by specialists may be relevant in some cases, they are not inherent requirements for the classification of an injury. Similarly, exceeding a monetary threshold may pertain more to legal claims or compensation rather than the fundamental definitions of what constitutes an injury. Therefore, the ability of an injury to cause disability is the critical factor in its classification.
