Disability Insurance
Exceptional coverage for your income and lifestyle
Protecting your ability to earn a living is essential. Disability coverage ensures your financial stability by providing income protection during times when illness or injury prevent you from working.
What is disability insurance?
Disability coverage acts as a safeguard, offering financial relief if you cannot work due to injury or illness. By replacing a portion of your income, it provides the stability needed to maintain your lifestyle while you focus on your recovery.
Types of coverage
Disability insurance offers a range of options to protect your income. Though coverages are specific to your individual policy, disability coverage can offer financial protection for:
- Chronic illnesses
- Mental health
- Physical injuries
Coverage that helps you stay resilient.
Illness or injury shouldn’t disrupt your financial future. Disability insurance bridges the gap when you’re unable to work, helping you maintain stability and peace of mind until you’re ready to return.
