Life Insurance has helped countless families maintain their lifestyles after the passing of a breadwinner. But what if the breadwinner is very much alive but unable to work due to illness or accident?
Long-term disability insurance can help you and your family meet expenses while you are incapacitated. Depending on the policy you choose, you may receive benefits that cover all or part of your salary, as well as, bonuses, stock options and additional compensation. We can help you sort through the options available to you and select the one that bests supplements any existing benefits you receive from your employer.
One more point- If you are fortunate enough to work for an employer that offers a long-term disability plan, it is important for you to know how much your policy will pay if you’re out of work. If you’re not covered, not covered adequately or self-employed, you should certainly consider owning your own personal disability policy.
