Mesa Disability Lawyer

A disabling illness or injury can happen at any time. Your disability could be the result of a personal injury: maybe you were involved in a car accident and suffered a debilitating spinal injury, or you may experience a sudden heart attack or stroke. If you struggle to obtain disability benefits, a Mesa disability lawyer can help.

Many of the major employers in Mesa, Arizona, such as Infusionsoft, PetSmart, Circle K, the state of Arizona, and Banner Health, offer disability insurance benefits to their employees. If your employer offers disability insurance, you may be entitled to benefits if you suffer from an illness or injury that prevents you from performing the regular duties of your occupation. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are also an option. To qualify for Social Security disability benefits, you must be unable to work in any occupation for a full 12-month period.

Ortiz Law Firm handles Social Security disability claims and claims for long-term disability, ERISA, and disability insurance benefits for claimants in Mesa, AZ. If you cannot work due to an injury or accident, call our office immediately at (888) 321-8131 to schedule a free consultation so you can see what our ERISA and Social Security disability lawyers can do to help you. We offer a no-recovery, zero-fee guarantee, meaning your disability lawyer will only get paid if we can recover your benefits.

Mesa Long-Term Disability, ERISA, and Disability Insurance Claims

Our job is to make the insurance company pay the benefits you are owed and maximize your recovery under your LTD policy. We never charge attorney fees or costs unless we recover benefits for you. Our long-term disability lawyers are serving Mesa, AZ, and will assist clients with the following:

Exceptions and Exclusions to Disability Benefits

To qualify for long-term disability benefits, you must meet the definition of disability as defined by your disability insurance policy. Even if your disabling condition does meet the definition of a disability under your individual or group disability insurance plan, your claim may still be denied due to exclusions and exceptions to coverage, such as:

  • Mental health: many policies will only pay benefits for 24 months if a claimant is disabled due to a mental health problem.
  • Pre-existing conditions: although the definition of a pre-existing condition will vary, most policies will not pay benefits if a claimant is disabled due to a pre-existing condition.
  • Criminal acts: most policies will not pay a claim if you were injured during the commission of a “criminal act.”
  • Drugs or alcohol: If you were injured while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you will most likely be disqualified from receiving benefits.
  • Acts of war: This could mean you were injured during military service or even as the result of a terrorist attack.

These exclusions and exceptions are likely listed in your disability policy or plan, but that does not mean that a denial based on said exclusion will hold up in court. Don’t give up if your claim has been wrongfully denied in Arizona. Call a national disability attorney with experience appealing long-term disability denials. Disability attorney Nick Ortiz has recovered millions in benefits for past clients in Mesa, AZ., Phoenix, AZ., and even across the country.
