Long-term Disability Claims
Legal Help Appealing Long-Term Disability Claim Denials in Alabama
When you're unable to work because of an injury or illness, you may be eligible for financial benefits through your company's long-term disability insurance plan. Such plans usually begin to pay benefits after you have been unable to work for three (or six) months.
Disabled workers sometimes have problems getting their long-term disability payments. They often find they have been:
- Unfairly denied because the plan administrator decided they were not disabled (even if Social Security has already approved a disability claim)
- Denied because the insurer doesn't agree with the degree of disability
- Paid less than they should have received under the plan
When your benefits have been denied, it's time to get a disability lawyer on your side.
