Helping You Recover Benefits for Long Term Disability
If you are unable to work because of an injury or illness, your normal course for recovery is through a long term disability policy with your employer or under a private policy of disability insurance. As a general rule, long term disability insurance claims are easier to apply for and easier to obtain than benefits through the Social Security Administration. However, if your application for benefits has been wrongfully denied or your benefits have been cut off and you still suffer from the disability, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests.
At the office of attorney Michael J. Brewster, I bring over 30 years of experience to individuals with long term disability claims. I understand the laws governing disability insurance and benefits, and how the process works, and can help you effectively and efficiently get the benefits you need and deserve. Contact my office or call me at 770-872-4521 (toll-free at 888-324-7530) for a free initial consultation.
My Long Term Disability Practice
I handle all matters related to long term disability claims for individuals who cannot work because of injury or illness. If you have received a cut-off letter or a turn-down letter regarding long term disability benefits, I will immediately notify your insurance carrier that I am representing you and will request a complete copy of your file. I will also take the time to listen carefully to you, so that I have a full understanding of the facts and circumstances of your situation.
Initially, I will help you appeal the rejection or termination of long term disability benefits through the administrative process. If your insurance provider still refuses to approve your application or reinstate benefits after our administrative efforts are exhausted, I can represent you in a lawsuit in federal district court under ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act), the federal statute governing employee benefits.
If you have been rejected for long term disability or your payments have been terminated, you should take immediate action to protect your legal rights, as there are time limits on any challenges to a long term disability denial or cut-off.
I handle all long term disability claims on a contingent fee basis. If you don't receive compensation for your losses, I will not charge an attorney fee.
