Every 10 minutes, nearly 750 Americans suffer an injury severe enough to seek medical help.National Safety Council, “Injury Facts” (2016).

Accidents can happen anytime, anywhere

The economic impact of unintentional injuries is about $6,900 per household (whether directly out of pocket, through higher prices for goods and services or through higher taxes).National Safety Council, “Injury Facts” (2016).

Accidents are usually followed by a series of bills. Even if you have good insurance, you may still have to cover out-of-pocket costs, such as:� Doctor bills

� Ambulance fees

� Hospital expenses

If you suffer from a fracture, dislocation or other covered accidental injury, accident insurance can help offset unexpected medical expenses, such as emergency room fees, deductibles and co-payments.Coverage options are available for you, your spouse and your dependent children.

Brushing and flossing are easy ways to protect your smile, but they’re not always enough on their own. When you have to see a dentist, dental insurance can make potentially expensive procedures more affordable.

The benefits of dental coverageWhile most health insurance plans don’t cover dental procedures, dental insurance can provide you and your family with benefits for routine and unexpected dental visits. It can help you pay for procedures such as:

Regular dental appointments can also help you maintain better overall health. They may help your dentist diagnose oral health problems early, when treatment is likely to be simpler and more affordable. They may also help your dentist detect other serious health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease.

With dental insurance, you can help protect both your health and your budget. And that’s something to smile about.

Disabling illnesses and injuries are more common than most of us realize.

If you’re out of work for weeks or months without an income, how would you pay your regular expenses? Disability insurance from Colonial Life could provide the security you need.

What you may not know about disability insurance

More than 1 in 4 of today’s 20-year-olds will become

disabled before age 67.1

Not all safety nets are reliable � Most injuries are not work-related, and therefore are not

covered by workers’ compensation.2

� The average Social Security Disability Insurance benefit for disabled workers is $1,165 a month and is reserved for eligible disabilities expected to last at least a year or result in death.3

� The Family and Medical Leave Act provides sick and family leave, but that time may end up not qualifying for payment.

67% of Americans would find it somewhat or very difficult to meet current financial obligations if their paychecks were delayed by one week.5

More than 50% of households would struggle to “make ends meet” following a $2,000 unexpected expense – even six months after the event.4
