Disability insurance policies are life insurance company products—yet most consumers don’t realize this. Since 2011, LifeInsuranceReview.com (LIR Insurance Solutions) has positioned itself as a trusted, independent resource created for the benefit of consumers, not for sales commissions.

Unlike traditional agents or company representatives, LIR exists solely to help individuals and professionals understand and evaluate life insurance and disability policies with unbiased, transparent, and simple-to-understand guidance.


Why Disability Policies Matter

Most people think of life insurance as only something that pays out after death. But what happens if you become too sick or injured to work? That’s where disability insurance comes in. These policies—offered by the same insurance companies that issue life insurance—are designed to protect your income, your career, and ultimately, your financial future.


Despite their importance, disability policies are often misunderstood, underexplained, or completely overlooked by traditional agents who focus more on commissionable products. That’s why a second opinion from a qualified fiduciary is not just helpful—it’s critical.

The LIR Difference: Independent, Experienced, and Consumer-Centered

Since its founding, LifeInsuranceReview.com has helped thousands of clients review, compare, and better understand their insurance coverage options. Here's what makes LIR stand out:

Independent and Unbiased

LIR is not affiliated with any specific insurance company. This allows the team to provide objective reviews and educational insights, rather than pushing a product for commission.

Fiduciary Advisors and Licensed Analysts

LIR works with licensed life insurance and disability analysts who are also fiduciaries—meaning they are legally obligated to put your best interests first. This is a major difference from sales agents who represent insurance companies.

Team-Based Expertise

Each case is reviewed by a collective team of experts, including financial professionals, underwriters, and policy design specialists. This ensures that every recommendation is backed by deep analysis and broad perspective.

Consumer-First Mission

LIR doesn't sell policies directly or promote any one insurance product. Their goal is to educate, empower, and elevate your decision-making with clear, practical information.


Why a Second Opinion Is Essential

Most people don't know what they don't know when it comes to life and disability insurance. Even experienced professionals like attorneys, CPAs, and financial planners often refer their clients to LIR for a second opinion on coverage and options.


9 out of 10 existing life and disability policies reviewed by LIR show clear opportunities for improvement—whether it’s cost savings, better coverage, or uncovering misunderstood policy features like living benefits, income replacement riders, or return-of-premium clauses.


Simple, Transparent, and Educational

LIR has invested years in producing unique educational content for both consumers and professionals. Topics range from:

  • How Disability Insurance Works

  • What to Look for in a Disability Policy

  • Truths and Myths About Life Insurance Riders

  • Living Benefits and Income Protection Strategies

These resources are designed to demystify complex policies and empower you to make the right decision—on your terms.


Take Control of Your Disability Insurance Decisions

LifeInsuranceReview.com is not a sales platform. It’s a trusted educational hub where you can finally get the full picture of what you own, what you may need, and how to protect what matters most—your health, income, family, and future.

Whether you're reviewing an existing policy, exploring new coverage, or just want clarity, getting a second opinion from an independent fiduciary is one of the smartest financial moves you can make.


Disability policies are life insurance products—and they deserve the same level of review, analysis, and understanding. If you’ve never had your policy reviewed by an independent team, now is the time.

2. Why is disability insurance offered by life insurance companies?

Many people don’t realize that disability insurance is a life insurance company product. These policies are designed to protect your income if you can’t work due to illness or injury. Life insurance companies offer them because they complement traditional death benefit coverage by protecting you during your working years.


3. Do I need a second opinion on my current disability or life insurance policy?

Yes. Most policies haven’t been reviewed in years, and many people don’t understand what they actually own. A second opinion from a qualified fiduciary can uncover opportunities for better coverage, lower premiums, or access to features like living benefits or income protection riders.


4. What does it mean to work with a fiduciary in insurance?

A fiduciary is someone who is legally and ethically obligated to put your best interest first. Unlike agents tied to one company or motivated by commission, LIR’s team includes fiduciary analysts who offer independent, conflict-free advice about life and disability insurance policies.


5. Can LifeInsuranceReview.com help professionals like attorneys or financial planners?

Absolutely. We regularly partner with attorneys, CPAs, financial advisors, and trustees who need independent analysis and clarity for their clients. LIR’s team can provide compliance-friendly reviews and work collaboratively to support your client’s financial planning goals.


6. Is there a cost to get my policy reviewed?

LifeInsuranceReview.com offers a complimentary initial review of your existing life or disability policy. This includes a summary analysis, review of current benefits, and a discussion of potential improvement areas. There’s no obligation, and we never sell or push policies.

We had a survivorship policy for about 6 years and when I got my policy reviewed, I learned that I can apply for a new policy with another company via 1035 exchange with $1.6M higher coverage and longer guarantee age. This was because I was also a pilot with now more than 900hrs, and that I qualified for the best health rating at some insurance companies. Our original agent never bothered to follow-up with us to explore any other options, except to make sure we were paying our annual premiums.
