Denial of disability insurance claims
Long Term Disability Insurance Denial Attorneys | Helping claimants with their withheld benefits
Like any insurance policy, you hope you never need to file a claim for long-term disability. And like any insurance, you expect the insurance company to fulfill its obligations if you do invoke your disability policy.
Increasingly in recent years, insurers have tried to deny legitimate claims for long-term disability, often without investigation or justification. Thousands of those claimants who were unfairly turned down have brought lawsuits for bad faith insurance denial. If you or a loved one has recently dealt with a disability insurance denial, contact us today to discover if you have a case against your insurance company.
Long-term Disability Denials
Greg Jones Law has been involved in bad faith insurance litigation against some of the largest insurers in the U.S. and abroad, including:
- Unum/Provident Life
- CIGNA
- The Standard
- MetLife
- Lloyd’s of London.
We are prepared to take your case to trial to force the insurer to (a) cover the wrongly denied claim and (b) pay exemplary damages for bad faith denial of up to triple the amount of the claim. We can represent you in negotiations, in arbitration when mandated under the policy, or in courtroom litigation.
Erisa, Private Insurance Policies, And More
You may have long-term disability insurance through your employer, known as an ERISA plan. You may have purchased long-term disability coverage directly from an insurer. Whether your employer provides this coverage or you pay the premiums, you have specific rights, including the right to sue the provider for bad faith. Bad faith claims may include unjustified denial, endless delay in processing your claim or knowingly offering settlements at a fractional value of your benefits under the policy.
We handle long-term disability claims stemming from illness and medical conditions. We also handle long-term disability claims arising from injuries and accidents, such as motor vehicle accidents, dangerous pharmaceuticals, slip-and-fall accidents or workplace injuries. We help injury victims recover all available compensation, including disability benefits under their own disability policies that may help offset their losses. Your long-term disability insurer cannot deny coverage simply because another party was at fault for your accident or simply because you are entitled to workers’ compensation. We also help clients with Social Security Disability claims for disabling conditions that have lasted or will last 12 months or more.
