We cannot predict the future. You could be driving to work one morning and be struck by an uninsured driver, suffering severe spinal injuries in the process. You may be unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. There are an endless combination of illnesses and injuries that would leave an individual unable to work. If you cannot work due to a covered illness or injury, you may be eligible for disability benefits. Ortiz Law Firm will fight to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve.
Long-Term Disability, ERISA, and Disability Insurance Claims
We’re here to help you get the long-term disability benefits you deserve from your insurance company. We help people to appeal if their claim is denied or terminated. If we need to, we will even take the insurance company to court for you. If the insurance company tries to give you a one-time payment to end your claim, we can help you decide if it’s a fair offer and maybe negotiate with them to increase the amount. We know all the sneaky ways insurance companies might try to avoid paying your claim, and we’re prepared to fight for your disability benefits. There are no fees or costs unless we win your case.
We Help with Dallas Long-Term Disability Claims
We often get asked, “Can I hire you if I don’t live near you?” The answer is a big yes! Most long-term disability plans are regulated by ERISA. This means we just have to send your appeal letter and any supporting documents to the insurance company by fax, email, or mail.
If we need to go to court, most of the work involves paperwork, writing legal briefs, and mailing letters. Court appearances are rare, which means we can handle a case in any federal court in the country. In fact, our lead attorney, Nick Ortiz, is licensed to practice law in Texas! He can represent claimants in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and throughout the United States.
