The future is unpredictable: on any given day, you could be involved in an accident or develop a disabling medical condition. If your injury or illness is severe enough to prevent work activity, you may need to apply for disability insurance or Social Security Disability benefits to replace your lost income. You likely have enough to worry about already, but a Warren disability lawyer at the Ortiz Law Firm can help you get the disability benefits you deserve.
Nick Ortiz and his experienced team at the Ortiz Law Firm represent both long-term disability and Social Security disability claimants in Warren, MI, and the surrounding area. If your claim for disability benefits has been denied or terminated, let a disability lawyer fight for your benefits so you can focus on what really matters—your health.

Ortiz Law Firm Handles Warren Long-Term Disability Claims
We represent long-term disability claimants whose claims have been wrongfully denied or terminated. We prepare and file appeals on behalf of our clients, and if necessary, we will also prepare and file a lawsuit against the insurance company. We offer a no-recovery, zero-fee guarantee, meaning we only get paid if we can recover your benefits. If you cannot work due to an injury or accident and the insurance company has denied or terminated your claim, contact our office immediately to see what a Warren long-term disability lawyer can do for you.
We Handle Long-Term Disability Claims Nationwide
Ortiz Law Firm is based primarily in Pensacola, Florida, but because ERISA governs most group plans, Nick Ortiz can handle these cases anywhere in the United States. He can either be admitted to your local federal court by what we would call a pro hac vice admission or file a lawsuit here in the state of Florida. There may be some situations where we cannot represent a claimant due to their location, but we still evaluate each case on a case-by-case basis. If we cannot assist you, we will attempt to refer you to another law firm that can.
Medical Requirements in a Long-Term Disability Claim
Supporting your long-term disability claim with medical evidence is typically the most time-consuming part of the process. The burden of proof falls on the claimant, which means you are responsible for providing supporting evidence to the insurance company. A disability lawyer such as Nick Ortiz will carry this burden for you so that you can focus on your health. Our office will obtain all of the necessary documentation to be included with your appeal. Most policies require proof of objective evidence, such as electrocardiograms, diagnostic imaging, blood tests, and psychological tests.
