Loss-of-Income Insurance

Insurance that covers the interruption of a policyholder's business activities, whether in whole or in part. A policy may cover loss of income from the cessation of business activities due to an act of God, such as a tornado or a hurricane, or a foreseeable incident. Likewise, it may cover partial interruption of activities, such as a situation in which an employee's long-term injury results in a loss of production. Loss-of-income insurance may also refer to personal insurance providing income for a person's disability or long-term illness.
