Disability insurance protects a policyholder’s earned income against the risk that an injury or disease prevents them from performing the core functions of their job. The possibility of becoming disabled seems so remote to most Americans, that few of us have enough saved to cover three month’s worth of living expenses in the event of a major accident or illness. For the people affected by disability during their careers, though, disability insurance is an enormous help. It can help cover your needs while you’re out of work and make it easier to focus on rehabilitation and self-care. Use this calculator to compare quotes from multiple life insurance companies.
