When Georgia Lawyers Become Disabled – We Fight for Your Long Term Disability Benefits

We are the lawyers that other lawyers hire when disability insurance doesn’t pay. Disabled lawyers’ claims involve unique issues and challenges. Many of our disabled-attorney clients are very sophisticated about their insurance. Many of them have spent a great deal of money to obtain the best possible individual disability coverage. That is not always the case though. Other lawyers we represent rely on group coverage provided through a law firm, sometimes with very little understanding of the pros and cons of the firm’s coverage. We are happy to help both kinds of clients.

Lawyer disability claims often arise due to mental and emotional issues. Our occupation is certainly more mental than physical, so in order to succeed we have to consistently function at the highest level emotionally and intellectually. Even a relatively minor cognitive or emotional problem can cause a lawyer to be unable to compete in a highly demanding and stressful work environment.

Why was my Long-Term Disability Claim Denied?

If your disability claim has been denied, it is likely because of one of two overarching
reasons. The bad news is that some denials/terminations are for legitimate reasons and little can be done there. The other reason is for financial reasons. Some terminations are for legitimate reasons, examples include:

● Failure to satisfy contract conditions
● Not being disabled enough

Here’s the deal, these contracts are one-sided; They favor the insurer. They often impose impossible barriers to claimants. When a long-term disability policy is truly bad and meeting its requirements are very difficult, an experienced firm is unlikely to be of any assistance. Unfortunately, your employer has a bad policy.

The second – more likely – reason is for the sake of money. This requires some explaining as well. Insurance companies are corporations that exist to profit. They don’t want to pay your claim, plain and simple. Here is the dark underbelly only those who deal with the insurance companies see.

If you’ve received a denial letter, give us a call and let us help.

Ameritas Long Term Disability Claim Denials

All disability insurers use external or internal physician consultants to evaluate benefit claims. The insurers present the medical opinions generated by these physicians as objective, independent, and therefore reliable. However, the reality is that many insurers repeatedly consult the same physicians for opinions that tend to favor the insurance company and disadvantage the insured.

In any disability claim governed by ERISA, you are generally obligated to file an administrative appeal once your claim has been denied. You only get one shot at an appeal, and it is the most critical phase of every claim. It is almost always a serious mistake to try to handle your own appeal. We have reviewed hundreds of claims that might have been won if the appeal had been handled correctly by an expert, but which end up being compromised by a well-meaning claimant who did not do a good job with the appeal. It costs you nothing to contact the attorneys at Robinson Warncke for a phone consultation. Let us help you determine whether your appeal can be won, and to come up with an action plan that can turn a claim denial into approved disability benefits that can cover your lost income for many years.

Should I Accept the Long-Term Disability Company's Offer to Buy Out My Policy
Benefits?

When a long-term disability insurance company determines that it may be paying benefits for a long time, they may offer to "buy out" your policy by paying you a lump sum. Acceptance of the lump sum would mean that you no longer have to provide continued proof of disability and they no longer have an obligation to pay you.

Lump sum buyouts will generally be made at a huge discount to the actual present value of their future payments and make sense only if one of the four following conditions are true:

1. You have an emergent need for cash.
2. You are going to die soon, and you know this but the insurance company doesn't.
3. You are getting better and expect to be able to return to the workforce.
4. You have figured out a way to make money even if you can no longer work in your previous occupation and getting the lump-sum payout would help "bridge the gap" until you get your earnings up.

If none of these conditions aren't true, then it is generally not a good idea to accept the buyout offer.

Give us a call to see if your offer is reasonable. We’re happy to take your call.

ERISA Disability Appeals - When Do You Get a Lawyer?

Long-term disability policies are confusing, even for some attorneys. It can be difficult to read between the lines, in fact, the language is meant to be hard to understand. Your employer's long-term disability plan documents may say this:

“ERISA requires that you go through the Company's administrative review process
before pursuing any legal action challenging our claim administration. Submit your
appeal to us within 180 days.”

Some folks think this means they couldn't (or shouldn't) use an attorney during the
appeal process. That is simply not true. You should at least consult with a lawyer before crafting your long-term disability appeal. Many judges even say that ERISA is so confusing that without an attorney, many claimants are fighting an uphill battle.

If you’ve received a denial letter from your employer’s insurer, give us a call and we’ll be happy to help. Contact us today for more consultation.

Can You Lose Your Long Term Disability Benefits?

Can you lose your LTD benefits? The short and tragic answer is yes, and it happens to many disabled individuals. The issue is hinged on the definition of ‘disability’ as defined in your insurance policy.

There are two definitions of disability in your insurance policy; “own occupation” and “any occupation.” From the time your disability policy becomes active, you are in a period where you are considered disabled from performing the duties of your regular occupation. For example, if you are a surgeon and you are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you are clearly unable to perform your current duties. Before the rollover into “any occupation,” an individual in this situation is entitled to their benefits.

The tricky part comes after your insurance rolls into the “any occupation” period, which lasts through the remainder of your paid benefits. The actual definition varies based on your insurance policy, but it generally reads “whatever new job we propose must pay you xx% of your pre-disability income.”

For example, a construction worker who is disabled after an accident may be denied benefits after the own/any occupation rollover. According to the insurance policy, they can perform an occupation that pays a certain percentage of their previous income.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call us.
