Securing Your Disability Insurance Benefits, Upholding Your Rights
As a professional, losing your ability to earn a living because of injury or illness can be a devastating experience. After years of pursuing an education and building a successful career, you have earned the right to focus on your health and well-being without worrying about your financial future. You should also have the right to the disability insurance benefits your disability insurance policy promises to pay when you are disabled and unable to work. As a dedicated private disability insurance law firm, Seltzer & Associates’ sole focus is on securing disability benefits for professionals like you.
Our Disability Insurance Attorneys Understand Your Struggle
When your illness or injury forces you to stop working completely, or only allows you to work part-time in a very limited capacity, it is advisable to seek legal counsel. When you are seeking the payments you are entitled to under your disability insurance policy and find yourself grappling with one of these scenarios:
- Claim Filing: You are getting ready to file your claim and want to make sure that you get it right. There is much at stake. You need to continue supporting your family. There are bills to pay and obligations to meet. As if your situation was not already challenging enough, you are now trying to cope with the pressures of meeting complicated disability insurance policy requirements while at the same time dealing with the illness or injury that prevents you from working.
- Appealing a Denial of Disability Insurance Benefits: You have filed for disability insurance benefits and have been denied. You know that you are eligible for benefits under your disability insurance policy, but the insurance company disagrees and is refusing to pay. You know that your family’s future depends on getting the appeal filed correctly and timely. Seltzer & Associates can prepare and file your appeal when you are denied disability insurance benefits.
- Appealing a Termination of Benefits: You have been receiving payments under your disability insurance policy for a while, but now the insurance company wants to eliminate or reduce your benefits. You may be entitled to continue receiving benefits, you just need to review the terms of your policy and provide the evidence to prove it to your disability insurance company. You know you are in over your head so you are looking for the right lawyers to get you through this crisis. Seltzer & Associates can review your policy provisions and work toward proving why your termination of benefits should be reversed and payments reinstated.
