A lot of people are worried about what would happen in the event they were unable to work. In fact, the inability to work due to an accident or illness is something that frightens many people and is the main caused for the need for disability insurance. Statistics show that becoming disability prior to age 65 is a real possibility for large percentage of working people and one out three of them will be disabled by their mid-fifties.
As you know the older you got, the more likely it was that you would become injured or sick and unable to work. The below is the statistic report of the industry advisory committee for individual health insurance policies provided by national association of insurance commissioners.
