The disability insurance that applies to you will depend on the nature or timeline of your injury. The particular coverage also hinges on the plan you have with your employer or the one purchased through your private insurer. Disability insurance can however be considered under two packages; the ‘long-term disability’ and ‘short-term disability’. Short-term disability refers to insurance that covers only a short period of time. Usually, short-term insurance lasts between three and six months. In California however, this type of insurance may even last up to a year.
Short-term disability insurance is generally less expensive and will only provide between 60 and 70 percent of your salary replacement benefits. Overtime hours, bonuses, and commission are not usually covered by this policy.
The flip side is the Long-term disability. Generally, any disability that lasts longer than six months is considered a long-term disability. Long-term disability insurance can support you for the duration of your disability – even if it’s for a lifetime. Perhaps the common thing in both short-term and long-term disability is that claiming the benefits doesn’t come easy. If you find yourself needing to file a disability claim, get yourself an experienced California disability insurance attorney at Pillsbury & Coleman, LLP.
What could possibly go wrong when filing a claim? Much more than you can imagine! Insurance companies usually stop at nothing to frustrate your claim and rip you off your benefits.
