Muscular Dystrophy Disability
Call Our Long Term Disability Attorneys
People who have been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy undergo abnormal gene mutations that afflict their muscles, often beginning at a young age. As time goes on, the muscle fibers weaken and cannot regenerate. The end result is a muscular dystrophy patient cannot conduct many day-to-day activities, and severe cases can even lead to muscular paralysis.
People living with muscular dystrophy may not be able to:
- Walk
- Stand
- Hold objects with articulation, such as writing utensils
- Breathe without assistance
- Lift one or both arms
- Learn new skills without difficulty
Finding and keeping gainful employment as a muscular dystrophy patient may be unreasonable or impossible due to the physical and mental limitations caused by the disease. If an employer or private-party provides the patient with disability insurance, though, it could be possible to find stability with long term disability coverage and/or short term disability coverage. For legal guidance through these complicated processes, you can come to Dabdoub Law Firm and speak with our long term disability insurance lawyers about your condition, financial needs, and insurance coverages.

Why You Should Choose Dabdoub Law Firm
Managing a long term disability insurance claim is difficult enough under ideal situations, but it can be downright frustrating and exhausting if you are already coping with a chronic disease like muscular dystrophy.

By retaining the services of Dabdoub Law Firm and our disability insurance attorneys, you can remove the legwork and guesswork of your case.
For more than 20 years, we have been filing, appealing, negotiating, and litigating high-stakes and complex disability claims for our clients from coast-to-coast.

Every major insurance company, from MetLife to Prudential, knows we mean business, for we have successfully brought claims against them all in the past.
Long Term Disability Benefits for Any Occupation
Muscular dystrophy is an intensely debilitating genetic disease, as it weakens most or all of the body’s muscles to the point they effectively become paralyzed. Depending on how rapidly the disease progresses, a patient might be bedridden in a matter of a few years after an initial diagnosis. Keeping any occupation might not be possible in a brief amount of time, so it is important to explore your legal options with our ERISA attorneys and long term disability lawyers as soon as possible.
We have helped collect benefits for people of all sorts of occupations, such as:
