Insurance companies are businesses — they are not your legal advocates, and in order to make profits and stay in business must make decisions that favor the insurer. Unfortunately, insurance companies seem willing to bend their own rules and even sometimes break the law in order to cheat policy holders. They use a variety of tactics to deny, delay, underpay claims and will sometimes look for ways to retroactively cancel (rescind) insurance policies when claims are filed. Our lawyers will tell you the truth about your claim, your case, and if the insurance company acted in bad faith. Our only business is to serve your best interest — not the interests of your insurance company.Disability insurance can be expensive, which only increases the level of frustration when benefits claims are wrongfully denied. Unfortunately, insurers routinely deny claims so it is important not to accept a denial of your initial application as a final decision. It is important to understand that even if you have the right to an appeal, it does not mean you automatically get a better outcome. Appeals can also be denied, so in order to ensure your best chances of a successful outcome, contact our law offices today to speak for free with an experienced disability claims attorney to learn more about your options for an appeal.

With as much information at our disposal as possible, we will guide you through the process of appealing your denial. There is a special process designed to allow you a chance to have the insurance company’s original decision reversed. Our attorneys have a thorough understanding of this process, and will stand by you every step of the way while we fight to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
