Disability Claims

Injuries that lead to disabilities can happen anywhere, at any time. Disability insurance can help alleviate some of the hardships you experience when a severe injury has taken away some of your normal functions. Unfortunately, not all insurance providers make it easy to collect the compensation you deserve. Whether this is personal disability insurance you have purchased on your own or insurance provided by an employer, denied or underpaid disability claims can make a difficult situation even more devastating.

What types of injuries can result in disabilities?
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken or severed limbs
  • Vision injuries
  • Hearing / ear injuries
  • Brain / head injuries

Why could you be denied disability payment?
  • There is insufficient medical proof of your disability
  • The impairment is not considered severe or is not expected to last more than one year
  • The impairment results from alcohol or drug addiction
  • You are able to perform your usual type of work or another type of work
  • You fail to take prescribed medicine as directed
  • You return to work while application is pending
  • You are caught doing an activity you claim you could not do

If you are struggling to get compensation for a disability claim, our experienced disability lawyers can help. Call us immediately after the insurance company denies your claim so we can get to work on your case. Please contact our office today for a free case evaluation.
