9 Truth in Numbers Most people don t believe they will need Disability Insurance. However, consider these facts: One in three Americans will experience a long-term disability prior to retirement with the average disability claim being 2 ½ years* Most disabilities don t happen at work and therefore, Workers Compensation won t provide benefits ** More than 90% of disability issues are caused by illness not injury. *** And... more alarming, 65% of people admitted they couldn t survive an income loss for more than a year and didn t know how they would survive.*** Disabilities happen more than we think and the majority of us are not adequately prepared to lose income for an extended period. * America s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), Baby Boomer Awareness of Disability Risk Study (2008); most recent available ** National Safety Council, Injury Facts (2011); most recent available *** CDA Consumer Disability Awareness Survey, Long-Term Disability Claims Review, Council for Disability Awareness (2010); most recent available
