You’ve worked hard all of your life. Whether it be through taxes or premium payments, you’ve paid for disability benefits. You believed that in the event you are unable to work due to a disabling illness or injury, you’ll still be able to pay your bills and medical expenses. So what do you do when your disability claim is denied?
The Ortiz Law Firm will fight to obtain the disability benefits you deserve. Rochester disability lawyer Nick Ortiz can help if your long-term disability claim has been denied or terminated, or you are looking for assistance with a claim for Social Security disability benefits. We offer a No Recovery, Zero Fee Guarantee, so you can seek out help without any risk.
Ortiz Law Firm Represents Rochester Disability Insurance Claimants
Working with an attorney can increase the chances of a successful appeal. It’s important to note that you do not have to hire an attorney in your state to appeal a long-term disability denial. An attorney can effectively represent you regardless of their location. In fact, you may have already been communicating with an out-of-state claims adjuster during the process.
We specialize in representing disability insurance claimants nationwide. We will review your claim file to determine the medical or vocational evidence needed to support your claim. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive system to prepare a robust appeal package to support your claim.
When it comes to filing a lawsuit for long-term disability claims, the majority of cases (though not all) are governed by a federal regulation known as ERISA. Under ERISA, you do not have the right to a jury trial, and extensive discovery is often not allowed in most instances. Consequently, the process relies heavily on paperwork, brief writing, and correspondence by mail. In many cases, there is no need for a court appearance, which allows us to handle federal court cases across the country.
