Disability coverage from The Standard provides employees with income protection against disabilities and illnesses that prevent them from working. The risk of disability is greater than most people realize. Consider these recent statistics:

• Disabilities affect one-fifth of Americans (approximately 49.7 million).¹
• On average, about 2,329 disabling injuries occur every hour during the year.²
• A disabling injury occurs every eight seconds at work.²

The need for disability coverage is clear, and The Standard offers a range of products that meet the specific requirements of diverse employer groups.
