Why Do You Need Disability Insurance?

People insure their homes, cars, and other important assets in case of an emergency, so why not get coverage to help protect your income?

Many people don't realize how likely it is to experience a disabling injury or illness that could leave them without a paycheck. No one wants to dwell on the possibility of becoming disabled, but the truth is that it can happen to anyone at any time, regardless of age, health, or profession. And the financial impact can be truly devastating.

Help Secure Your Rising Salary

It's important to remember that your disability benefits are based on your salary at the time you purchased your policy and don't automatically increase as your salary increases. As your salary increases and your financial needs change, it’s important to evaluate—and consider increasing—your benefit amount to ensure you have the right coverage for your salary and situation.
