Your entitlement to such disability coverage might be through a plan provided by your employer, the existence of which you might not even know about. Or you might be\u00a0eligible for\u00a0benefit payments through a disability\u00a0insurance policy you purchased on your own, perhaps years ago. Either way, these long-term insurance benefits can pay you a substantial percentage of your salary while you remain unable to work because of your sickness or injury. The benefit payments may provide months or even years of crucial income replacement for you and your family while you are sick or injured.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.logisticsct.com\/iansmithlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blockquote2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63\" title=\"blockquote2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.logisticsct.com\/iansmithlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blockquote2.jpg\" alt=\"You may be eligible for long-term disability benefits.\" width=\"575\" height=\"39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iansmithlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blockquote2.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.iansmithlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/blockquote2-300x20.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Law Office of Ian O.
