Long-Term Disability Claims

If you become disabled and must submit a claim for long-term disability benefits, prepare yourself for a struggle. In our experience, unless your injury or illness is terminal, insurance companies will take any opportunity to deny your claim.

The most important part of a long-term disability claim is the initial application for benefits. Your medical evidence must be clear, convincing, and well organized, and you should prepare it well before filing the claim, if possible. Mehlman TerBeek LLP has helped many clients prepare and negotiate long-term disability claims. If your initial claim is denied, we can represent you in internal administrative appeals, court actions, and lump-sum settlement negotiations.
