Disability Insurance will pay a monthly income in case you are sick or hurt and can't work. Inability to work can be partial, or total.

Partial or residual disability benefits are paid when you can't perform all of your duties at your job, and have a partial loss of income.

If your loss of income is 75% or greater, you will be considered totally disabled and your benefits received will be 100% of your policy's benefits (there is some variation on this with different insurance companies).
