You may be entitled to Long-Term disability benefits if you suffer a Personal Injury or work injury for which you were previously granted Short-Term Disability benefits. You may also be entitled to LTD benefits if you have a serious health condition arising out of an ADA Disability.
Typically, insurance companies will fight Long-Term Disability claims by asserting that you are able to perform your job, or a similar job, despite your condition. We frequently handle appeals to LTD carriers by collecting additional documentation and evidence to support your claim. This is critical because, if you are forced to pursue your Long-Term disability claim in Court, the Court will be permitted to consider the insurance company's denial only in light of examining the medical information that was provided to the insurance carrier prior to its ruling on your final appeal. That means that if you fail to provide essential medical information to the insurance company during your appeal, you cannot later submit that information to the Court. This is one reason why contacting an attorney as soon as you are initially denied Long-Term Disability benefits is essential. Also, you should know that there are a many laws, such as workers compensation, Family and Medical Leave, ADA, Unemployment Compensation, the law of Wrongful Termination and Social Security regulations, that are often involved when you file an LTD claim. We also have a reliable network of attorneys to whom we refer Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability claims. We often work in conjunction with those attorneys to insure that all of your rights are protected.
