Cleveland Disability Insurance Claims
In Cleveland, most people get their disability insurance coverage through their employer. Disability claims with an employer-sponsored disability insurance policy is usually governed by a federal law called ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Insurance companies tend to have an unfair advantage over people who are disabled and deserving of benefits when ERISA applies.
Those who aren’t covered by an employer may purchase individual coverage, and although it often has higher premium rates, the flipside is the terms are usually better for policyholders. For example, these policies may have the more favorable “own occupation” definition of disability.
In most situations, insurance companies will rely on the opinion of their own doctors over the doctors of the disabled claimant. Insurance companies also send claimants to what they refer to an independent medical examination (IME) or functional capacity evaluation (FCE). But none of these examinations are truly independent. In fact, the insurance companies routinely use the same doctors over and again, and many of these doctors make a handsome living doing this work for them.
Unfortunately, many of these claims are denied without a legitimate reason. At Dabdoub Law Firm, we take-on the insurance companies who would rather protect their profits than pay their policyholders’ the legitimate benefits that they are due.
Because we specialize in this practice area, the firm knows the tactics insurance companies use to delay or deny claims and can respond to enforce our clients’ rights under the law and the disability policy. No matter the chronic medical condition that keeps you from earning an income, our lawyers know what it takes to counter disability insurance denials.
