Disability Benefits
We never know when injury or illness will strike in our lives. It takes only a moment for your health to be taken away and with that, your ability to earn an income. Investments and RRSPs meant to support your retirement can quickly deplete in just a short-term bereavement from work. What happens if your accident or sickness leaves you off for many months or a few years? Or for the rest of your life? The financial strain on family members can be detrimental to their health and your relationship while you fight to regain your own health. How will your kids feel watching the life they knew incrementally disappear due to an accident or injury causing financial stress to the household. Liquidating hard earned assets at a fraction of their true value to pay the bills is damaging financially and mentally.
There are multiple types of disability insurance and understanding the differences allow for careful consideration when tailoring your protection to suit your specific needs. What is included in disability policies vary depending on the company providing the coverage and the combination of policies that you carry. Let us help you become an expert in what combination of disability options best suit you and your family’s needs.
Empire Life Financial Security pays your full benefit regardless of any other benefits you receive.
