If you and your family depends on your income to survive, then you should consider investing in some type of disability insurance. This will ensure that you can continue to receive at least part of your income should you become injured or sick and cannot work for a time being.
One of the most common reasons for disability is on-the-job injury, which explains why the second largest form of disability insurance is that provided by employers to cover their employees. However, there are several subtypes that may or may not be separate parts of the benefits package: workers’ compensation and more general disability insurance policies.
When you’re relying on your income to cover life expenses, having an individual disability insurance plan can help safeguard against unexpected situations that may leave you disabled and unable to work.
When your employer provides disability insurance, the coverage can help pay for your living expenses while you’re unable to work for your income as a result of a work related injury or illness.
