INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY
If you cannot go to work because of injury or sickness, who will
pay your bills? Who will cover your loss of income? Workers Compensation
will cover an injury on the job but there is a waiting period
for the coverage to kick in. Statistics show that clearly two
thirds of disabling injuries occur away from the workplace. Workers
Compensation does not cover off the job injuries.
Disability insurance provides a partial replacement of your income.
Medicine has found ways to keep people alive longer after serious
illness such as heart attacks, cancer and stroke. That’s the good
news. The bad news is that more and more people become partially
or totally disabled after the doctor’s save their lives. How will
you handle the medical expenses and the loss of income?
An injury or illness that prevents you from working can be financially
devastating:
The facts are:
"In the last 20 years deaths due to cancer, heart attack
and stroke have gone down, but not disabilities. Here are some
of the things you need to know:

the U.S. and worldwide due to a disabling condition. Many workers
never return to work following a disability.
- Roughly 50% of all home foreclosures are due to serious medical problems, whereas only an estimated 2% are death related.*”
