Liberty Mutual Disability Lawyers; Pursuing LTD Benefits for You

Improve Your Chances – Talk to an Experienced LTD Attorney
If you are unable to work due to injury or disability, it can be difficult to keep your head above water financially. Fortunately, if you have long term disability coverage, you may be entitled to financial support while you focus on your physical well-being. In some cases, however, long term disability benefits may be difficult to obtain when your insurance provider denies your eligibility for benefits.

One of the country’s most recognized insurance providers, Liberty Mutual, has been known to deny claims based on a number of factors, including lack of supporting documentation or information. When filing a claim for long term disability benefits under a Liberty Mutual plan, the guidance of an experienced lawyer can be invaluable in helping you improve your chances of obtaining the benefits you are entitled to.

At the law office of Burke, Harvey & Frankowski, LLC, our Liberty Mutual LTD claims attorneys understand the difficulties often associated with filing a Liberty Mutual claim for LTD benefits. We’ve helped countless clients with Liberty Mutual coverage during the process of filing an initial claim or appealing a denied claim.

If you are unable to work due to an injury or disability and carry MetLife long term disability coverage, you may be entitled to financial support.

Cigna Disability Attorneys

Pursue Cigna Long Term Disability Benefits with an Experienced Lawyer
As one of the largest insurance providers in the country, Cigna offers long term disability benefits to millions of individuals. Unfortunately, many of these individuals are turned away when they need the benefits they are offered under their plan, even when they are clearly qualified to receive them. In fact, in recent years, Cigna has gained a reputation for denying a large percentage of claims for long term disability benefits under the guise of requiring additional “objective information”.

At the law firm of Burke, Harvey & Frankowski, LLC, we believe that no one who is unable to work due to injury or disability should be denied the benefits they are entitled to under their LTD coverage. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our Cigna disability lawyers have the skill and insight needed to help you address a wide range of issues relating to your Cigna benefits claims, including:

Filing your initial claim: While it is possible to file your initial benefits claim without an attorney, having us in your corner may dramatically improve your chance of obtaining benefits on the first try. Working closely with you, your doctors and accountant, we will help you gather all documentation and information needed to file your claim. We will also help you complete the claim documents in a manner that clearly demonstrates your condition and your qualification for benefits.
Appealing a denied claim: Unfortunately, a large number of Cigna claims are denied. A denial notice does not signal the end of your pursuit of benefits, however; you have the option to file a number of internal appeals to Cigna. We will help you understand the reasoning behind your denial, and will work diligently to address the issues Cigna found with your documentation and paperwork before helping you file your appeal.
Taking your case to court: In some cases, you may be able to obtain benefits through the internal appeals process with Cigna’s claims department. Unfortunately, Cigna may continue to approve your claim. Should the internal appeals process fail, you have the right to file an ERISA lawsuit to have your case reviewed by a federal judge, who will offer an objective ruling on your qualification for benefits. We will help you file the ERISA suit, and prepare all necessary documentation for the review process.
