Disability Insurance Denial in Pennsylvania

Insurance companies may wrongfully deny legitimate disability claims, leaving many victims feeling helpless. However, it’s important to remember that you have the right to appeal your insurance company’s decision.

Over 60% of disability claims are initially denied, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA).

Working with an experienced disability attorney in Pennsylvania can help level the playing field between you and your insurance company.

Pennsylvania Long-Term Disability Insurance Denial

Long-term disability insurance in Pennsylvania provides workers with compensation when they are too injured or sick to complete tasks required at their job.

Unfortunately, many long-term disability insurance providers are known for:

  • Denying valid claims in order to protect their profits
  • Creating a confusing claims process to encourage policyholders to abandon their claim or make errors
  • Intentionally prolonging their decisions since appeals can’t be filed without a denial letter

If your claim was wrongly denied, it’s important to act fast so you don’t miss your chance to file an appeal.

Social Security Disability in Pennsylvania

Many employees contribute to the government’s Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program with every paycheck.

While these funds are set aside to help employees who have been unable to work for over 12 months due to a medical condition, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may wrongfully deny your claim.

If you were denied SSD benefits, a Pennsylvania social security disability lawyer can handle the complex paperwork required to appeal your denial. Let us help you secure the benefits you deserve from the SSA.

Veterans Disability Denial in PA

Benefits for disabled veterans are offered through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). To be eligible for these benefits, you must have:

  • A service-related disability
  • Been dishonorably discharged

If you served in the U.S. Armed Forces and were later denied military disability benefits, our VA disability lawyers in Pennsylvania may be able to help you file an appeal.

Remember, denials are not the end of the claims process. You have the right to fight back by appealing your insurer’s decision.

2. We’ll Gather Evidence for Your Claim

Our team will determine why your insurance provider denied your claim and what additional information may be needed to change their decision.

To help strengthen your appeal, your legal team may:

  • Get testimony from medical experts
  • Gather statements from people who can assess how your impairment impacts your ability to work
  • Collect additional records to prove your injury
  • Identify and fix any administrative errors or technicalities set in place by the insurance company

We’ll use this evidence to present a strong case on your behalf and show that the insurance company wrongly denied your claim.

Long-term disability laws in Pennsylvania allow victims to appeal a denial from their insurance companies. In some instances, you may even be able to file a second appeal if your first was denied.

Our Pennsylvania long-term disability attorneys can create a strong appeal on your behalf and file it before any deadlines. If you don’t file your appeal within these deadlines, you won’t be able to pursue the benefits you may be entitled to.

4. You Get Paid or We'll Fight in Court

If your appeal is successful, your insurance company will begin paying out your disability benefits. Depending on your policy, you may be able to receive back pay for any delays in the claims process as well.

If your appeal is unsuccessful, our Pennsylvania denied disability attorneys may be able to file a lawsuit on your behalf and fight for your benefits in court.
