Insurance is usually a prudent investment: if the worst happens, it can help cover the financial cost of accidents, injury, property damage and more. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Most people assume that their private short or long-term disability insurance company will pay their claim when the time comes.  Clients are often shocked to discover that, despite paying for a policy, the disability insurance company makes the decision regarding whether or not someone receives benefits. This is true if the disabled person paid for a policy for six months or 20 years. Furthermore, even if the disabled person’s doctor is saying that they cannot work, the insurance company does not always accept this opinion as true.

Many people do not succeed in getting benefits on their own–but you don’t have to navigate the process alone.
