Short and Long-Term Disability Claims

People purchase Short and Long-term Disability insurance to ensure that in the event they can no longer work, they will still have income to meet their family’s needs. Many are often met with a different reality when that time comes. Often times people are denied when they apply for the benefits for which they have been paying for many years. Worse still, is that these denials are typically governed by the ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act), which means they are subject to rules slanted in the favor of insurers. This includes deadlines for appeals that can spoil any claims. Even the strongest appeals and claims face an uphill battle. For this reason it is important to have an attorney on your side to help with this process and advise you on the complexities and realities of Short and Long-Term Disability Insurance denials.
