QuoteRetriever.com Now Offers a Free no Obligation Comparison Shopping Service for Disability Insurance from over a Dozen a-rated Carriers

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) October 23, 2007 -- QuoteRetriever.com announces a free no obligation service that allows consumers to comparison shop for the disability insurance needs. "Protecting your future income with disability insurance is one of the most important aspects of a solid financial foundation. It's natural for people to insure their home, car, and other valuables but many people fail to protect the asset that provides these items - their income", says Reilly O'Neal founder and president of QuoteRetriever.com (http://www.quoteretriever.com).

Statistics show that 3 in 10 workers entering the work force today will become disabled before retiring. In addition, disability causes nearly 50 percent of all home foreclosures, compared to 2% caused by death. Disabilities among the American workforce are on the rise and with approximately 110 million Americans without long term disability insurance it is obvious that American workers are financially unprepared for a disabling injury or illness. Many people believe that because they are healthy they don't have a real need for disability insurance but that can change in a matter of seconds. In fact, in the last 24 hours over 56,000 people became disabled due to an accident or illness.

Many workers also fail to recognize that their ability to work and earn an income is their most valuable asset. A 30 year old worker earning $84,000 per year has the potential to earn over 7 million dollars over the course of their career yet people are failing to properly protect this asset which is responsible for keeping a roof over their head, medical insurance paid, a vehicle in the driveway, and dreams of a comfortable retirement or college education for the kids within in reach.

"Self employed individuals, business owners, consultants, physicians, and others who are without group disability insurance benefits are the most at risk. Not only are these workers solely responsible for the success of their businesses but they do not have anyone to fall back on if they were unable to work due to a disability. If an injury or illness sidelined them from work, not only would their personal finances be impacted but the livelihood of their business could be in jeopardy, making it even more difficult to come back from such an event", says O'Neal.

The complexity and expense of individual disability insurance often deters workers from purchasing this valuable protection. As a general rule an individual can expect to pay a monthly premium of approximately 2-3% of their monthly income depending on the policy design and additional riders.
