A common question among many of our potential disability insurance customers is “Is my occupation one that typically gets disability insurance?” So we thought it might be interesting to pull back the curtain a bit and write a blog detailing the occupations that are most common among our disability insurance customers.

Medical ProfessionalDisability Insurance for Medical Professionals

Far and away the most common group of disability insurance customers of ours fall into the medical professional category. This category includes dentists, orthodontists, physicians (including all subsets, such as cardiologists, radiologists, dermatologists, surgeons and oncologists, to name a few), psychologists, psychiatrists, optometrists, pharmacists, physician assistants and veterinarians.

Disability Insurance for Legal Professionals

Another common category of occupations enrolled in disability insurance plans isLegal Professionals the legal professionals group. This group includes lawyers as well as government positions such as judges and district attorneys. This group particularly can receive disability insurance and hugely discounted rates. Lawyers are one of the occupations that might benefit from a true own-occupation disability insurance policy, as it will allow them to pursue other career opportunities outside of their legal profession without any impact on their disability benefits.

Disability Insurance for ArchitectsDisability Insurance for Engineering Professionals

The engineering professionals group includes architects, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers. The less time an engineer spends in the field or in the lab, usually results in better disability insurance rates.
