Appealing a Long Term Disability Denial: What to Know

Insurance companies often deny valid claims to minimize their costs, which means appealing a long term disability denial is a possible step toward securing the benefits you need.

As you consider appealing a denial of your disability benefits, keep these critical points in mind:

  1. You might get the same reviewers:Appeals are often overseen by the same individuals who initially denied your claim, which may not lead to a different outcome.
  2. You could get the same results: The appeals process might not result in a reversal of the initial decision.
  3. You may be working against your best interest: The insurance company might argue that handling your appeal on your own proves you can work.
  4. You should consider getting a lawyer:When you have decades of legal experience to rely on, the pathway to winning your case becomes clear and achievable.

When you have professional legal counsel, insurance companies take your case more seriously. Hiring a disability lawyer like the ones at Share Lawyers costs you no money upfront, will expedite the process, and improve your chances of obtaining the benefits you deserve.
