What is Disability Insurance?

The fact is that no one would like to imagine what life would be if disability strikes. But a study has shown that a 20-year-old worker has a 30% possibility of getting disabled before the age of retirement. Since the ability to work seems to be the largest asset of people, the situation would be unbearable or even miserable if a disabled person lost the job and could never generate income for the rest of his life. However, things have changed a lot with disability insurance.

When people can’t work due to injury or illness, disability insurance will work to protect their financial future. As one of the most ignored insurance types that few people buy, it will ensure the beneficiary’s income against any risk that would make working impossible by paying a recurring amount of money to the injured person on a regular basis, typically monthly.
