If you have been injured or have an illness and are no longer able to work, you may be wondering how you and your family will afford the things you need. Even though you no longer have an income, there are still bills to pay and groceries to purchase. If you have long term disability (LTD) insurance, you may be able to file a claim to receive the compensation you need for lost wages.
While filing a claim with your LTD insurance may seem straightforward, it often isn’t because long term disability insurance companies rarely “play fair.” Their ultimate goal is to avoid paying your claim, even though you paid premiums to them for years. It is not in their financial interest to award you anything, so they will do everything they can to ensure your claim is denied, including secretly videotaping you taking out the trash or bending down to pick up a newspaper in an effort to disprove your claim.
This is why having legal representation for a long term disability claim is so important. At Grogan & Souto, P.C., we will provide you with the legal back up you need to make sure that your LTD insurance company isn’t acting unscrupulously, and that your valid claim isn’t denied. Should your claim be denied, we will fight for your right to compensation through litigation, arbitration and any other means necessary.
