Jersey City Disability Lawyer

Have you already applied for disability insurance benefits and been denied? Are you waiting for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge to decide your Social Security Disability Insurance claim? No matter what New Jersey disability matters you are dealing with, whether a Social Security Disability Insurance claim or a long term disability insurance claim, an experienced Jersey City disability lawyer such as those at the Ortiz Law Firm can help. Our team of disability insurance and Social Security Disability lawyers will fight for the benefits you deserve.

We Help With Jersey City Disability Claims

Long term disability and Social Security Disability claims are our primary practice areas. We understand that each case is unique and requires special attention and care. We take the time to research the medical conditions that prevent you from working and will prepare Medical Source Statements customized to your conditions. We will obtain sworn statements from you and your loved ones to supplement your medical records. We aim to “stack the record” with supportive evidence to ensure your claim is approved quickly.

Long Term Disability, ERISA, and Disability Insurance Claims

If you are researching long term disability claims, you are likely going through a time of great stress in your life. Your health is failing, and you cannot work to support your family. Meanwhile, you must fight with your insurance carrier for benefits.

Your disability insurance company is not your friend. Your disability insurance company will look for any excuse to deny your claim. However, you can level the playing field by working with an experienced disability lawyer. We focus primarily on long term disability, ERISA, and disability insurance claims, so we understand the insurer’s tricks and tactics.

Does It Matter Where My Disability Insurance Lawyer is Located?

Our location will not have any impact on your claim. We represent long term disability claimants anywhere in the United States from our Pensacola office. We have experience with all insurance companies with a presence in New Jersey. Nick Ortiz can either be admitted to your local federal court by what we would call a pro hac vice admission, or he can file a lawsuit here in Florida. We evaluate each case on a case-by-case basis. The insurance companies may have billions of dollars backing them, but the Ortiz Law Firm does not fear a single one of them.

How Our Law Offices Can Help With Your Disability Insurance Claim

We offer a free case evaluation if your long term disability claim has been wrongfully denied or terminated. Although we do not typically handle short-term disability cases, we may be able to assist you if your short-term disability benefits have been denied and you also have long term disability coverage that may also be affected.

We file administrative appeals on behalf of our clients, and if the appeal process is unsuccessful, we will also file a lawsuit against the insurance company. We handle both group disability insurance claims that are typically governed by ERISA regulations and individual disability insurance (“IDI” or “DI”) policy claims. If you have an individual policy, you may not be required to go through the appeal process before filing a lawsuit.
