Accidental Disability Insurance for Self-Employed

Living within your income is complicated. And without it?

If a long-term disability prevented you from making a living, for how long you and your family could survive without your regular income?

What is Accidental Disability Insurance?

It is a straightforward, affordable and easy to purchase plan that can help protect your income if you become injured or ill. It is specially designed for self-employed people: truck drivers, contractors, farmers, fishermen, accountants, software engineers, part-time workers and many others occupations and professions.

Highlights:

• No medical examination at the time of purchase. Answer just a few basic questions to apply. You can receive injury-only coverage if you do not qualify for sickness coverage.
• 24/7 Protection.

• Affordable: Premiums start as low as $10.50 per month for injury-only coverage.
• Tax-free monthly benefit: Choose $500, $1,000 or $1,500 (75% of your gross monthly income is the maximum).
• Easy to apply
• Total disability benefits: Receive a monthly benefit for up to 2 years if a covered illness or injury completely prevents you from working.
• No premium payments during disability: Your premiums will be waived if you are disabled and being paid monthly benefits.
• Portable: You can keep your policy if you change jobs.
• Policy cannot be cancelled as long as you pay your premiums
