Disability Disputes

Independent professionals frequently buy insurance plans in order to safeguard themselves from these risk of being in a poor financial situation following a disability. They pay a large premium to these insurance providers in exchange for some peace of mind. However, when an unfortunate event happens, many private disability insurance policyholders discover that their initial peace of mind has now been destroyed by a disability claim denial. They realize the disability insurance they believed they could depend upon isn't there for them after all. They find themselves too ill or hurt to carry out their occupational duties the way they used to and facing enormous economic hardship. Our workers’ compensation and personal injury lawyers have successfully resolved disputes for many clients in similar situations and can do the same for you.

Insurance companies market private disability insurance to high-income workers, including those in the medical field (dentists, physicians and mental health professionals), attorneys executives, accountants and company owners. These are the individuals most able to pay the high insurance premiums and most in need of protection should their capability to earn an income be jeopardized by sickness or an accident. Insurance companies that provide private disability insurance realize that compensating full benefits to a disabled professional can be very costly, and they try to take advantage of every possible method to avoid paying out these private disability claims.
