When you hire the disability attorneys at Riemer Hess, we sit down with you and formulate a customized strategy for monitoring and maintaining your disability benefits. We listen to your needs and concerns and make the process as easy and stress-free as possible. Although every client and claim is different, there are certain strategies we follow in monitoring every benefit.
When you retain disability insurance attorneys at Riemer Hess, we assist you every step of the way, taking the burden off of your shoulders. We complete the process in the most cost-efficient manner, always with a mind to reducing the burden on you, both financially and emotionally. Here are some of the things we will do for you:
When you are appealing a denial of benefits the overall challenge is that you need to convince the same private disability insurance company who denied your claim to reverse itself. Not only is it difficult to convince anyone to admit that they were wrong, but here we need to convince an insurer to admit it was wrong when it has a financial incentive not to pay you.
You’ve applied for Long Term Disability benefits and your claim was denied, or your LTD claim was initially approved, but the insurer terminated your benefits after a certain number of months or years. What is your next step? As annoyed as you may be, you unfortunately cannot just sue the insurance company. The federal law known as ERISA requires that you first appeal the insurer’s adverse determination.
At Riemer Hess, our disability insurance attorneys know what is necessary for a successful appeal. We prepare appeals as if they were cases in court. We have found that if you submit a comprehensive appeal, you show the insurer you are serious and have a better chance to win. We are aggressive in our appeal approach, and will help you obtain the proof you need to counteract the private disability insurance company’s reasons for the denial and to prove you are unable to work in your own or any occupation.
Are you afraid your ERISA insurance company will arbitrarily deny your appeal? At Riemer Hess, our New York disability lawyers help our professional and executive clients navigate the complex appeals process and protect their rights.
