Disability Lawyer Serving San Antonio Texas

If you live in San Antonio and are unable to work due to a disability, you may be eligible for long-term disability insurance or Social Security disability benefits. The area is a hub for several industries, each of which poses unique risks to workers that may necessitate filing a disability claim:

• The energy sector, known for its oil and gas production, can result in serious injuries such as burns and fractures that make it impossible for affected workers to continue.
• The aerospace industry, which includes both research and hands-on tasks such as aircraft assembly, is at risk for repetitive motion injuries.
• Manufacturing, particularly in electronics and food production, also presents physical and chemical hazards that can lead to potential disability claims.

Navigating the disability claims process can be overwhelming, but we are here to help. The legal team at the Ortiz Law Firm can help you successfully navigate the legal process to ensure you receive the benefits you deserve. To discuss your claim with a San Antonio disability attorney, contact us today.

Do You Need Help with a Disability Claim Denial?

Has your disability claim been denied by the Social Security Administration or a disability insurance company? This is where working with a disability lawyer can be especially helpful. When you hire an expert to help you through the administrative appeal process, they can gather evidence from your doctors and make sure you have the documentation you need to support your claim.

Here at the Ortiz Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping people get the disability benefits they deserve. We handle group long-term disability (LTD) claims, individual disability insurance policy claims, ERISA disability claims, and Social Security disability claims. Led by disability attorney Nick Ortiz, our experienced legal team is ready to fight for the benefits you deserve.

Long-Term Disability Appeals and Lawsuits

Many of the people who contact our office are shocked to learn that their long-term disability claims have been denied, but an experienced disability insurance attorney knows that this is typical. After all, an insurance company is a business, and it does not make money by paying out claims.

Policies often contain limitations and exclusions that allow the insurance company to deny or terminate claims under certain circumstances. For example, most policies will only pay benefits for a mental health claim for 24 months. Pre-existing condition exclusions are also very common—many policies will not pay a claim for a condition if the claimant has already received treatment for that condition within a certain time frame.

That’s where we come in—the experienced legal team at the Ortiz Law Firm understands why long-term disability claims are denied and will prepare a comprehensive appeal to contest the denial. If the insurance company upholds the denial, we may file a lawsuit. We represent claimants in San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Dallas, and throughout the United States.
