DISABILITY INSURANCE

Most people recognize the need for life insurance, but many don't understand the need for disability insurance.  When you are disabled because of an injury, your income stops - but your bills don't.  An average of 1 in 3 people will be disabled for 90 days or more at least once before they reach age 65 and can last for months or even years.

Types of Disability Insurance

3.  Commercial

     On the anniversary of the contract, the insurance company can refuse to renew the policy, or the can charge more because of          any previous claims you have had.
