Insurance

Applications for life and car insurance are increasingly being considered on an individual basis. Contacting various agencies before submitting an application and asking for information regarding policies and costs are very useful in finding an appropriate provider. By investigating the options first, you will be able to compare what various companies offer. An insurance agent who deals with more than one company may be helpful. If your application is rejected, don’t assume it will be by a different insurer.

Some employers offer long-term disability insurance.
