Long term disability is an insurance policy that protects an employee from loss of income in the event that he or she is unable to work due to illness, injury, or accident, for a long period of time. Short term disability insurance is an insurance policy that protects an employee from loss of income in the case that he or she is temporarily unable to work due to illness, injury, or accident. Neither short term disability insurance or long term disability insurance protect against work-related accidents or injuries, as these would be covered by workers’ compensation insurance.
