Type of Disabilities

Temporary Total Disability (TTD)

Temporary Total Disability coverage provides benefits on a daily or monthly basis to an individual or an organization when an accidental injury or an illness prevents an individual from performing the duties of his/her occupation on a temporary basis.

This coverage may be purchased as asset value or contract protection, to protect the future earning potential of an individual or future revenues of an organization against losses resulting from injury or illness. The amount insured under a contract protection policy would be the amount of compensation under an employment or performance contract.

Permanent Total Disability (PTD)

Permanent Total Disability coverage offers protection for organizations or individuals (whether as asset value or contract protection) in the event an athlete or entertainer suffers a career-ending injury or illness. This coverage responds in the event an injury prevents the insured from ever returning to his/her occupation. Benefits are usually paid in a lump sum amount.

Combination (TTD and PTD) policies are also available in situations, in which benefits extend beyond the limit or length of the insurance policy.
