    Long Term Disability Insurance is needed for anyone whose income is essential to maintaining their home, business, or standard of living. Workers may have enough savings to carry them through a few months to years of being disabled, but there are usually also medical expenses involved that can rapidly deplete savings and investments. The chances of a woman being disabled at some point before retirement age are 1 on 3, and the chances of a man being disabled at some point before retirement are 1 in 4. So Long Term Disability Insurance is a valid need and more common than most people realize.

    Long Term Disability Insurance is needed by most people because most people need their paychecks to maintain a desirable standard of living. Being laid off for over 3 months due to illness or injury can happen to anyone. Long Term Disability Insurance pays you a portion of your paycheck to get you through extended periods of disability.
