You May Be Entitled to Disability Insurance

Disability insurance covers those who get sick or sustain a serious injury and are prevented from working for a long time or permanently. The insurance money is used to support the person’s lifestyle, family, and overhead expenses by compensating for the loss of income.

Your Disability Insurance Legal Recourse

Insurance companies routinely attempt to pay as little as possible on disability claims or refuse to pay anything. That is why you will need the help of a Providence lawyer practicing disability insurance law. The attorney can bring legal action against the insurer to get you the compensation you deserve.

How do you apply for disability benefits?

Most types of disability (Social Security, veterans, work-provided) benefits start with a typical application process. You will need to provide information about yourself, your earnings, and your medical condition that keeps you from working. Getting the information correct on your application can prevent any unnecessary delays and appeals.

What conditions automatically qualify you for disability?

To receive disability benefits, you will need to prove that your diagnosed medical condition prevents you from working and earning a living. In that sense, no condition “automatically” qualifies you for benefits. You will need to provide supporting evidence that goes beyond a doctor’s diagnosis.

How much does disability pay per month?

The average Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiary receives more than $1,200 a month. However, if you receive any other disability benefits, such as veterans’ disability benefits, you may receive less. Your ability to do any part-time work will also affect how much you receive, as will the amount you earned before you became unable to work.

How long does it take to get disability benefits?

Many people are rejected the first time they apply for disability benefits, meaning they have to go through the appeals process. This process can take months or more than a year for many people. However, everyone’s case is unique, and you should speak with an attorney if you have more questions about the process.

Best Time to Seek Legal Help

No matter what your legal issue may be, it is always best to seek legal help early in the process. An attorney can help secure what is likely to be the best possible outcome for your situation and avoid both unnecessary complications or errors.

How to Prepare for Your Initial Consultation

Prepare for your consultation by writing down notes of your understanding of the case, jot down questions and concerns for the attorney, and gather your documents. Remember that you are trying to get a sense of whether the attorney has your trust and can help you address your legal issues. Questions should include how the attorney intends to resolve your issue, how many years he/she has been practicing law and specifically practicing in your area, as well as how many cases similar to yours the attorney has handled. It can also be helpful to broach the subject of fees so that you understand the likely cost and structure of your representation by a specific attorney and/or legal team.

Tips on Hiring an Experienced Lawyer with Disability Insurance Cases

The more experienced a lawyer is in legal practice, the more likely he/she will be able to bring about a successful resolution to your issue. Since experience matters, lawyers who’ve been practicing law for many years (with a successful track record) tend to be in high demand. You should look for information about a lawyer’s experience and ask questions during the initial meeting. It’s a very good idea to ask the lawyer how many years he/she has been practicing law and the expected outcome of your case.
