Short-Term Disability Insurance
Short-term disability insurance is designed to cover income loss on a short-term basis. If you receive a paycheck, but are currently unable to work as the result of a disability, short-term disability insurance helps protect your earned income. This coverage is meant to help cover routine monthly expenses like your mortgage, utilities, or car note.
Policy options are favorable with short-term disability and include one- and three-year benefit periods, with your monthly benefit amount falling between $300 and $3,000.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Most people tend not to think about a situation until it happens; are you equipped with the right resources in the event that you experience an injury that leaves you permanently disabled? Purchasing a long-term disability insurance policy from Peak Insurance Agency results in the monthly benefits of financial compensation that is used to aid in paying your rent, bills, groceries, and other day to day financial obligations.
