Frequently Asked Questions About Longwood Long Term Disability Claims
What should I do if my Long Term Disability claim has been denied?
If your claim has been denied, it is important not to panic or give up. Review the denial letter carefully, as it should outline the reasons for the decision and your right to appeal. Gather all medical records and relevant documents, and consider speaking with an attorney experienced in Long Term Disability claims to help guide you through the appeal process.
How long do I have to appeal a denied claim?
Most Long Term Disability policies governed by ERISA give you 180 days from the date of the denial letter to file an appeal. It is important to act quickly and begin preparing your appeal right away, as missing this deadline could prevent you from recovering any benefits.
What is ERISA and how does it affect my claim?
ERISA stands for the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. It is a federal law that governs most group disability benefit plans. ERISA has strict rules and deadlines, and it limits how claims and appeals must be handled. Working with an attorney familiar with ERISA is often critical to the success of your case.
Can I handle the appeal on my own?
While it is possible to submit an appeal without legal representation, the process is complex. Insurance companies often rely on technicalities or insufficient evidence to uphold denials. Having an attorney with experience in Long Term Disability appeals can greatly improve your chances by ensuring all the necessary documentation is submitted and the legal arguments are properly presented.
What sets Herbert M. Hill, P.A. apart from other disability attorneys?
Herbert M. Hill, P.A. focuses almost exclusively on disability and employee benefits law. The firm does not treat these cases as side work. Clients benefit from deep experience with insurance company tactics, ERISA requirements, and a history of successful appeals and litigation. The firm also offers flexible fee arrangements to make quality legal help more accessible.
Will I need to go to court to win my case?
Not necessarily. Many disability claims are resolved at the administrative appeal stage. However, if the appeal is denied, the next step may involve filing a lawsuit in federal court. The attorneys at Herbert M. Hill, P.A. are fully prepared to take that step when needed.
Can your firm help even if I do not live in Longwood?
Yes. While the firm regularly helps clients in Longwood and throughout Florida, it can also assist individuals who live in other parts of the state. Most communications can be handled remotely, and the firm’s experience with federal law allows for broad representation.
