ABOUT RIEMER HESS
Stepping away from work due to a medical condition is a major decision.
The timing, medical support, and documentation can all affect your disability claim. You may be wondering what to say to your employer, how to document your last day of work, and how your short term and long term disability benefits fit together.
We guide you through each step so your leave is handled properly and your disability claim starts on the right foundation.
When filing your long term disability application, everything depends on how your claim is presented.
A diagnosis alone is not enough. Your claim and evidence must clearly demonstrate how your symptoms, restrictions, and limitations prevent you from performing the duties of your occupation.
We help develop a clear, well-supported LTD claim that aligns your medical evidence, occupational demands, and policy terms.
After your benefits are approved, the insurer may continue to review your claim.
Ongoing requests for medical records, forms, interviews, surveillance, or updated occupational information can create uncertainty.
We help you respond strategically, maintain consistent support, and protect your ongoing monthly benefits.
A denial can feel overwhelming, especially after everything you have already put into your claim.
But an appeal is also your opportunity to strengthen the claim record before the insurer makes its final decision.
We identify the reasons for denial, gather additional medical and vocational support, and prepare a comprehensive ERISA LTD appeal or disability insurance appeal.
If your claim cannot be resolved through the appeal process, litigation or mediation may be necessary.
We have extensive experience litigating ERISA and individual disability insurance cases, including complex claims involving professionals, executives, and high-value benefits. Our litigation practice is centered in Manhattan, with substantial experience in the Southern District of New York and the ability to handle matters nationwide.
We prepare your case carefully, evaluate settlement opportunities, and advocate for you at every stage.
