For Long Term Disability Claims, legal representation helps secure the benefits you deserve
There is no doubt that long-term disability insurance is a valuable benefit. You rely on the coverage to protect you if a severe injury or ongoing long-term illness makes it impossible to do your job. Long-term disability insurance becomes a vital supplement to helping you support yourself and your family during such a devastating time.
Whether the insurance is a benefit offered to you through your employer or you purchase the policy on your own, the coverage should be there to protect you if the unthinkable happens.
Robert Peirce & Associates’ long-term disability team has a proven track record of success in presenting strong claims on behalf of their clients. Backed by more than 40 years experience, the dedicated attorneys will help you to quickly and efficiently obtain the long-term disability insurance benefits that you deserve.
Attorney Robert Daley has been successfully litigating long-term disability cases at Robert Peirce & Associates for more than 20 years. “Accessing benefits that you are entitled to can be a lengthy and complex process. We know how to help secure the benefits and we recognize how overwhelming and stressful it can be,” said Daley. “There are many hurdles that you will need to clear, and we are here to guide you every step of the way and help level the playing field with large insurance companies.”
All policies are different. Therefore, it is critical to thoroughly understand your long-term disability terms.
If you make a claim and you are denied benefits, you have a limited amount of time to appeal. It takes hard work and preparation to file a successful claim. Robert Peirce & Associates can help you through the entire process. They work tirelessly to handle the brunt of the work and guide you through the appeals process. Should the insurer continue to deny your claim, it may be necessary to take them to court.
After you receive long-term disability benefits, you have an ongoing obligation to continually update the insurance company on your disability status. This might include reports from doctors, and you may be reevaluated which could potentially impact whether the insurance company considers you disabled. Many insurance policies contain a clause that changes eligibility criteria after a fixed time period (usually two years), and this change in criteria always makes it more difficult to maintain benefits because while initially you may qualify if you can’t do your “own” job, the change in eligibility criteria requires that you be unable to perform “any” job.
“Whether you have been denied a long-term disability claim or if you are facing re-evaluation and the possible loss of your benefits, you need legal representation to protect your rights,” said Daley.
