DISABILITY INSURANCE

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Your income is often your largest asset. If you take what you earn today and multiply it by the number of years you expect to work, you have an idea of the financial security that would be compromised in the case of a disability.
Disability happens.
Disability income insurance replaces a portion of your income if you become disabled and are no longer able to work. Most of us insure our homes and vehicles against risks, but nevertheless, many of us do not insure ourselves against the risk that we might not be able to earn an income due to a an illness or accident.
Although some employers offer group disability income insurance, it should be supplemented with individual disability income insurance, since group policies are usually not portable, and bonus and pension benefits may not be covered.
We offer an individual disability income insurance that does not require medical or financial underwriting. This is a great product for a small business owner or self-employed individual who has the income and the need for the insurance, but cannot prove it on paper.

Interested, or have a friend or client who may be interested? Give us a call at 305-665-4508.

DISABILITY INSURANCE I

Did you know??
Three in ten working Americans will experience a long-term disability during the working years. According to the 2002 U.S. Bureau of Census, more than 50 million Americans were classified as disabled.

Disabilities today are tending to last significantly longer than before. In 1981, a 40 year-old might be out of work with a disability for 4.3 years. In 2005, a 40 year-old’s disability could last 6.6 years.

Advances in medicine mean illnesses that used to result in death, now often result in disability. For example, while deaths from heart disease dropped 29%, disabilities from heart disease increased 36%.

Every 30 seconds someone files for bankruptcy in the wake of a serious illness.
