San Jose Disability Lawyer

In San Jose, 5.0% of the population under age 65 have a disability. If you have a group or individual disability insurance policy and are unable to work due to a covered disability, you may qualify for long-term disability benefits. If your illness or injury prevents you from working for 12 months or longer, you may also qualify for Social Security disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.

Disability Insurance Claims In San Jose

We are dedicated to helping disabled individuals recover the long-term disability benefits they deserve. When an insurance company wrongfully denies a disability claim, we are there to file administrative appeals and lawsuits against the carrier. We handle both group disability claims governed by ERISA law and individual disability insurance (“IDI” or “DI”) policy claims.

Ortiz Law Firm Handles San Jose Long-Term Disability Claims

Nick Ortiz is licensed in the state of California, so he can represent claimants at any bar in the state. The administrative appeal process can easily be handled by our office, as we can communicate with the insurance company via email, telephone, fax, and mail. If we have to file a lawsuit, there are very few court appearances required, if any. In terms of communicating with you, we primarily communicate by phone and e-mail. We also use an electronic signature service and, if necessary, fax.
