Protect what they make possible.
If you could not use your hands to do your job, how would you pay your bills? Start with the income that depends on them.
“Can I insure my hands?” is a useful starting question.
For many working professionals, the practical conversation is about disability income insurance. A policy may respond when a covered condition meets its definition of disability, rather than simply assigning a dollar value to a body part.
Specialized body-part insurance and disability income insurance serve different purposes. Neither should be assumed to cover every injury or loss of earnings.
Your occupation matters.
A dentist’s fine motor skills, a stylist’s hand movements, and a tradesperson’s physical duties can affect their ability to earn. The policy’s occupational definition, duties, and any exclusions deserve close attention.
What if I already have an injury or carpal tunnel?
Your history needs an individual review. An insurer may request more information, exclude a condition, change the terms, postpone an application, or decline coverage. Daniel can help you understand the application process without assuming the outcome.
Especially relevant when you work for yourself.
