NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Policygenius, the nation's leading online insurance marketplace, is celebrating Life Insurance Awareness Month with two new infographics that make it easier for people to understand their coverage needs.

"Life insurance provides a financial safety net for families," says Patrick Hanzel, a CFP^® and advanced planning specialist at Policygenius. "It's important to alleviate any confusion that might keep people from getting financial protection."

A recent Policygenius survey^¹ found only 32% of Americans have life insurance. The new infographics are designed to help people figure out if they need a policy — and, if so, what type of coverage (term, whole or final expense life insurance) is right for them.

"Term life insurance is the right choice for most shoppers because because it is significantly lower in cost and insurance needs typically decrease over time," Hanzel says. "Whole life insurance can be a good fit for people with special needs dependents or complicated financial situations and estate planning needs."

Policygenius makes it easy to compare and buy life insurance online. You can find the embeddable infographics here. For additional resources, visit our Life Insurance Learn Center.
