Disability Insurance                                                                                    Back to Menu
If you, a partner, or a key employee become disabled, the loss to the company would be just as great as if he or she died. In fact, it could be worse, because that person would still require an income.
Questions to ask:

1. Do I have adequate disability insurance on myself?
2. Do we have coverage on our key employees to help meet our responsibilities to them if they become disabled?

Questions to ask:

1. If we do have a plan already, is it current?
2. Is adequate life insurance in place to fund the buy out?
3. Does it involve a disability purchase, along with the disability insurance needed to help replace my salary or income if I become ill or injured?
