Disability Denial
Disability denial of any kind is a serious problem that affects many hardworking Americans. After all, disability insurance is there for a reason: to provide income to disabled men and women who are prevented from working at their jobs because of a long-term illness or injury.
Unfortunately, not all insurers are created equal. Further, not all insurers are looking out for the best interests of the men and women they insure. In some cases, insurers may unfairly deny people’s disability claims. When that happens, it’s important to appeal the denial – but you shouldn’t have to undergo that process on your own.
Let our seasoned disability denial attorneys make it easier for you by dealing with the insurance companies so that you can get the disability cash benefits you may be entitled to.

The 3 Main Types of Disability Insurance
Being denied your disability insurance is NOT the end of the road.
That said, it can leave you frustrated and confused about the appeals process, angry about an appeals decision, and/or fearful of how you’ll manage to pay your bills with little-to-no income coming in. But being denied once – or even more than once – doesn’t mean it’s over. You may very well indeed have a valid claim; often, disability denials are based on a small technicality or because of missing medical information in your application.
Here are the 3 main types of disability insurance:
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
The purpose of SSDI is to provide money to disabled taxpayers when they are unable to work for 12 months or more. Unfortunately, many people get discouraged when applying for SSDI benefits or when appealing a denial. We’re here to simplify the SSDI process and fight your appeal.
Long-Term Disability Insurance
Your long-term disability insurance was intended to provide income should an illness or an injury prevent you from working. But some insurers unfairly deny disability claims. Instead of appealing a denial alone, enlist the help of an attorney who practices in disability insurance. We’ll fight the insurance company so that you get the money you may be entitled to.
Veterans Disability Compensation
Veterans who sustained injuries while serving may be entitled to monthly disability benefits. Our attorneys can help veterans file appeals or fight for a new Veterans Administration disability rating.
