Skilled Long Term Disability Lawyers Offering Support
You Aren’t Alone – Call our LTD Insurance Attorneys
While you probably never dreamt that you would need to file a claim under your long term disability insurance policy, knowing that you have support should you need it is always helpful. When it does become necessary to file a claim, you expect your insurance company to keep their end of the bargain and pay you the benefits you are entitled to; after all, you’ve paid all of your premiums and worked hard to earn your coverage. Unfortunately, many insurance companies deny a large percentage of claims, sometimes on the grounds that they simply do not wish to pay.
At the law firm of Burke, Harvey & Frankowski, LLC, we know how difficult it can be to deal with insurance companies, especially when you are relying on them for financial support while you are unable to work. Our disability attorneys have learned several strategies for dealing with insurance companies, and have successfully assisted countless clients during their search for LTD benefits.
