Private Disability Insurance Claims

Bakersfield Disability Insurance Claims Attorneys

When you purchase disability insurance, you are purchasing a promise the insurer will pay benefits in the event you become disabled or unable to do your own occupation, or any occupation. These special insurance policies help pay your rent or mortgage, or your grocery bills, clothes and other expenses when you are unable to work. But if your insurer denies your disability claim, you may feel that you have nothing to fall back on.

Insurers often doubt disabilities even when you really are unable to work and routinely deny initial claims that are filed. They may delay your claim, pay you less than you are entitled to, or flat out deny you your benefits.

If your disability insurance claim has been denied, you do have a right to pursue payment from your insurer through an appeal. You may also have a right to pursue an insurance bad faith claim against your insurer if the denial was improper.
