As per the U.S. Census Bureau, 10% of Jacksonville residents below age 65 are grappling with a disability. This represents one out of every ten citizens who can’t work due to an illness or injury. If you’re among this segment of the population in Jacksonville, you’re not alone in your struggles.
If you cannot work due to a disability, you could be eligible for benefits from the Social Security Administration or through a long-term disability insurance policy. Ortiz Law Firm is a national disability law firm here to serve claimants in Jacksonville, Florida, and its neighboring areas, such as Daytona Beach, Deland, Deltona, Flagler, New Smyrna, Orange City, Ormond Beach, and Palm Coast.
Legal Assistance for Long-Term Disability Claims in Jacksonville
Unfortunately, many Jacksonville citizens with disabilities do not receive the disability insurance benefits they’re entitled to. This is often because disability insurance companies, like all businesses, aim to maintain their profits, which can sometimes mean denying claims. However, our experienced long-term disability lawyers at Ortiz Law Firm are committed to helping you secure the benefits you deserve.
We strongly encourage you to consult with a Jacksonville long-term disability attorney to understand better how to get your disability claim approved or reinstated. Our team can guide you through the administrative appeal process and assist you in filing a lawsuit against your insurance company.
Nationwide Legal Representation
One common question we often hear is: “Can I hire you if I’m not in your local area?” The answer is a resounding yes! We can represent individuals across the United States. Although Ortiz Law Firm is primarily based in Pensacola, Florida, most group plans fall under the federal regulation ERISA. This allows our team, led by Nick Ortiz, to handle cases nationwide. Our firm utilizes modern communication tools to ensure seamless communication regardless of location.
Since ERISA cases typically don’t involve a jury trial or extensive discovery, they are mainly paper-driven. This allows us to manage cases efficiently using mail, fax, and email. It is highly unlikely that any court appearances will be necessary. This means we can handle a federal court case anywhere in the country. In the few instances where we cannot represent a claimant due to their location, we carefully evaluate each situation and try to refer you to another capable law firm.
