Finding a caring law firm that meets your needs can be challenging when searching for a Lake Wales LTD lawyer. Here we explain what makes Herbert M. Hill, P.A. different.
If you have been injured or are suffering from an illness that keeps you from being able to work, your priority is getting the benefits you deserve. Caring for yourself and your family can be a full-time job, and when you need to file a Long Term Disability (LTD) appeal, the added stress can put more pressure on an already tense situation. Finding a team of dedicated lawyers who focus on LTD cases is the best way to get the financial help you need without the stress.
What can you expect when you contact our Lake Wales LTD lawyer? You can expect an attentive, experienced law firm that will go the extra mile to fight for your rights and benefits. While some of our clients need our help filing their initial LTD claim, we receive more inquiries after claims have been denied. Approximately half of Long Term Disability claims are denied after the initial claim is filed. This is when you need a proactive, experienced LTD law firm to step in.
Our Team Is Proactive
When you hire our Lake Wales LTD lawyer, we will start by requesting documents from your insurance company and employer to begin the process of your denial appeal. Two documents we ask for right away include the Plan Document from your employer and the Administrative Record from your insurance company.
Each entity has 30 days from the date of our request to produce their respective documents. If your employer fails to produce the Plan Document within 30 days, they can be fined $110/day per federal statute. We will stay in contact with your employer and insurance company consistently until these documents are in our possession, at which time we will share them with you.
During this discovery process, we will also gather documents from your doctor and discuss our findings with you to ensure we have all the information we need to proceed. We aim to file an appeal as quickly as possible without leaving anything out that would hinder your chances of success. The faster we file an appeal, the sooner you can start receiving your benefits.
Lead attorney Herbert M. Hill explains how we gather documentation so that we can file your appeal in a timely manner.
