The Risk Every Contractor Faces

No Work = No Pay.
The Bills Don't Know That.

Unlike W-2 employees, self-employed contractors and 1099 workers don't get sick days or a paycheck while they're laid up. One bad fall, one surgery, one serious diagnosis — and the income stops cold.

Mortgage & Rent

The bank doesn't care that you're in physical therapy. Your mortgage is due on the 1st regardless.

Truck & Equipment Payments

Your work truck doesn't stop needing payments while you're recovering from an injury or illness.

Family Expenses

Groceries, utilities, school costs — they don't pause because you took a fall on a job site.

Medical Bills Piling Up

While your income drops to zero, medical costs are climbing at the same time. A double punch you can't absorb.

They Thought It Wouldn't
Happen to Them Either

★★★★★
"I broke my wrist on a job in March. Couldn't swing a wrench for 10 weeks. The disability check kept my mortgage paid while I healed. Best money I ever spent."

★★★★★
"A serious back injury kept me off job sites for 3 months. I thought I was going to lose everything. The coverage let me focus on physical therapy instead of panicking about bills."

Common Questions

Contractor Disability Insurance
— Quick Answers

Yes. Our policies cover you whether you're injured on a job site, at home, or anywhere else. If you can't work because of an injury or illness, you're covered — period.
Most contractors pay less than $5–$10 a day. Your exact premium depends on your age, trade, income level, and the benefit amount you choose. Get a free quote to see your rate in under a minute.
Options vary by plan — some pay from day one, others after 7 or 14 days. Plans with shorter elimination periods have slightly higher premiums. We'll help you pick what fits your cash flow.
Most of our plans don't require a medical exam. You'll answer a few health questions online, and many contractors are approved the same day.
That's exactly who we serve. Most employer group disability plans don't cover self-employed contractors. Our individual disability policies are designed specifically for 1099 workers and independent tradespeople who need real income protection.
When you can't work due to injury or illness, call us or contact the carrier directly. We guide you through the process so you get paid as fast as possible — usually within a week of approval.
