If you’re like most people, the thought of ever becoming disabled from working has never entered your mind. However, the reality is that nearly 400,000 Americans become totally disabled each year, and over 8 million adults have a disability that prevents them from working. Fortunately, a good number of these individuals have a disability insurance policy that provides a percentage of their income when a health condition prevents them from working. The bad news though is that insurance companies routinely deny valid disability claims day. That is where our expertise comes in.
Most Long-Term Disability (“LTD”) claims are governed by a federal law called ERISA. If you have an LTD insurance policy through your employer, it is most likely governed by ERISA. When an insurance company denies your ERISA claim for disability benefits, you are now required to appeal that decision to the same company. However, under ERISA, your appeal may be the last time you can introduce evidence of your disability.
If your appeal is denied, you then have the right to file a lawsuit against the insurance company. But it’s unlikely that you will be able to introduce new evidence of disability once your lawsuit is filed. This means you must provide the insurance company with as much medical and non-medical support as possible during the appeal process.
