Rhode Island Long-Term Disability Insurance Denial

Long-term disability insurance in Rhode Island 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.

If you were denied SSD benefits, a Rhode Island 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.
