The insurer’s administrative processes are not just a necessary step in your long term disability claim, but often set the stage for whether your claim will be successful in any subsequent litigation. They also present a valuable opportunity to bolster your chances of success, both during the administrative process and in litigation.
If you suffer an injury outside the workplace that prevents you from performing the duties of your job, you are likely concerned about keeping your job while you heal from your injury. If you are pregnant or have just given birth, you are likely to have similar concerns.
If your employer provides a long term disability plan under ERISA and you suffer from a condition that disables you from work, it's important to get the facts about filing a claim. Our skilled New York ERISA disability lawyers can discuss some of the most important things you need to know.
To obtain long term disability (LTD) benefits, you must persuade the insurer that you meet the standard of disability in your policy or plan. Typically, you must prove that you cannot perform the material duties of your regular occupation. The insurer will rely heavily on your application and supporting materials to make its decision. A thorough, timely application significantly increases your chances of success.
