The long term disability lawyers at Share Lawyers have helped over 8,000 people across the country over the last 35 years to secure the benefits that were initially denied. So, if you’ve been denied, don’t lose hope! We can provide you with a variety of resources to help you move forward with your claim.
Disability insurance is a benefit that most of us hope we will never use. In reality, however, many of us do. In fact, one in three people will experience disabling medical symptoms for 90 days or longer at least once before age 65. Circumstances, an illness, or an accident may leave us unable to work. It can be a very stressful time.
