It matters a ton. Martin got his exemption under the ADA. Injuries that are not permanent disabilities don't generally qualify

I’m not a lawyer, so this is only based on what I found googling the internet (always a fraught affair), but it appears at least one court case has ruled that a disability need not be permanent to be covered by the ADA.

In the case of Summers vs. Altarum Institute Corp., No. 13-1645 (4th Cir. January 23, 2014), the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit answered the question, ruling that a temporary and severe impairment does in fact qualify as a disability under the ADA, and thus persons with such temporary and severe impairments are protected by the ADA.
