Disability Insurance

The most valuable asset you may have is your earning power. Without disability insurance, you have to find other sources of income to replace your lost earnings due to a disability.

You probably don't think twice about insuring your car and home, but the most valuable asset you have may be your earning power. You will earn a total of $1,601,515 over the next 25 years if your annual salary is $50,000 with 2.00% increases per year. Is this $1,601,515 asset protected by disability insurance.

Likelihood of a Disability...

There is a greater chance that you will suffer a disability rather than dying before you reach age 65. For example, a male age 35 is 3.6 times more likely to become disabled rather than die before reaching age 65, while a female is 8.0 times more likely to become disabled.

Duration of a Disability...

If a disability lasts at least three months, it usually lasts much longer. For example, is a 45 year old male becomes disabled for at least three months, the disability is likely to go on for 4.0 years. For 45 year old females, the figure is 4.5 years.
