LONG TERM DISABILITY CLAIM DENIAL

If you purchased a Long Term Disability policy on your own or through your employer, and you are now unable to work, you may have a claim for benefits through that policy.

Many of the leading disability insurance companies engage in systematic strategies to deny claims. Aided by an ERISA law that gives them procedural advantages, these companies have many means at their disposal to intimidate or outwit legitimate claimants. It is our job to level the playing field for an individual who wants to expend his or her energy recovering from their illness, rather than fighting with an insurance company.

Long term disability insurers count on the fact that you probably won't know their rules and procedures and, as a result, you will have a more limited chance of fighting to win your disability benefits. Long term disability insurance carriers are not impartial, quite the opposite is true. Long term disability insurers have a vested interest in the outcome of long term disability claims. In other words, the more claims they approve and pay out, the less "financially healthy" their bottom line is. And the fewer long term disability cases they approve, the greater their profit margins will be. It is for this reason in particular, that it is in your best interest to consult with a Long term disability attorney at Allan W. Ben P.C. well before a long term disability claim has been denied and even before a long term disability claim has been initiated and filed.
