Providing Disability Compensation
Disability can happen to anyone. But, workers who are exposed to too many hazardous conditions in their workplace have greater chances of having injuries that could lead to a disability or impairment.
Because of this, most workers acquire insurance policies that cover disability compensation so that their future is secured if ever they meet an unfortunate accident that would take away their means of income.
