Injuries can set people back in more ways than one. Besides the strain that injuries cause on the body, they at times can set you back financially as well. Depending on the injury, you may not be able to even work and earn an income. These types of injuries can lead to serious lifestyle changes. Having group insurance in these types of situations can be great, but it isn't always perfect. There can at times be “gaps” that leave you with a serious cash deficit.
Perhaps your situation is different. Maybe you do have an injury, but one that is not life-threatening or very life-altering. That being said, perhaps your injury still does cause problems and leaves you partially disabled. For these types of injuries, personal disability insurance with a comprehensive income replacement plan may be necessary for you.
