Why You Need a Long Term Disability Attorney

Disability law is complicated, and it is crucial that you choose an attorney who is experienced in this area. A typical personal injury lawyer will not have the skills or experience necessary to help you the same way we can. The stakes are high with long term disability cases, and your insurance company’s top priority is, unfortunately, to make a profit rather than to help you.

These insurance companies have many strategies to pay you less than you deserve, but our attorneys will combine their knowledge of the law with their passion for justice to attempt to secure the full benefits you are legally entitled to.

Our skilled attorneys can help in various stages of the disability claim process including:

  • Long Term Disability Applications – Most individuals choose to file a long term disability application on their own, without legal assistance. While this is often successful, individuals with more challenging and unique situations may benefit from legal counsel from the beginning to avoid having their applications rejected.
  • Long Term Disability Appeals – If your long term disability application has been denied or the insurance company has stopped paying benefits after you were previously approved, you may have only one chance to correctly appeal their decision. Mistakes during the appeals process can make it more difficult, if not impossible, to obtain the benefits you deserve. It is crucial that you have an experienced attorney on your side to submit evidence to the insurance company to support your claim.
  • Long Term Disability Settlements – Sometimes, once a claim has been approved, the insurance company will offer a one-time lump sum payment instead of continued monthly payments. Disabled individuals should seek legal counsel before accepting a settlement to ensure that it is the best choice for their long-term needs.
  • Long Term Disability Lawsuits – When an appeal is denied or disputes arise during the claim process, sometimes the only choice is to file a lawsuit against the insurance company to recover the benefits you are owed. If you are facing this situation, you need an attorney with extensive experience in disability benefits who will take the time to understand your case and fight for you in court.
  • Long Term Disability Claim Management – Sometimes even after your claim is approved, there are situations that can come up that require legal attention. If the insurance company asks you to have in-person interviews or medical exams or conducts video surveillance, it can be helpful to seek the advice of an attorney. If your claim goes under review or the insurance company consistently requests updated records, an attorney can also help you respond to their requests correctly to avoid misunderstandings.
