Applying for LTD Benefits - When to Hire an Attorney
In this Legal Minute Video, TWWHB partner, Stephanie Taylor, will talk about a situation we see often in our practice: clients who wait too long to hire an attorney to help them with their application for long-term disability benefits. As Stephanie explains in the video, it can save you a lot of time and money if you hire an attorney experienced with long-term disability denials to help you BEFORE you fill out your initial application for benefits.
Stephanie has helped numerous clients—whose applications for long-term disability benefits were initially denied—eventually recover the benefits they deserve. We have included the complete script from Stephanie's video below. If you or someone you know has been denied their long-term disability benefits, do not wait to contact one of our experienced insurance attorneys for a free, no-cost, no-obligation consultation to discuss your case and learn your rights.
Question:
When should I hire an attorney to help me with my application for long-term disability benefits?
Answer by TWWHB Partner, Stephanie Taylor:
When most of my long-term disability clients contact me, it's after they've already been denied benefits by the insurance company. What they don't realize is that it can save them a lot of money and a lot of time if they contact an attorney before they actually file the claim for disability benefits. The reason that it can be much better is we can make sure everything is done correctly in the beginning, so we don't have to try and fix something later.
