A Texas Long-Term Disability Lawyer Is Beneficial for Your San Antonio Claim

When a person in San Antonio, Texas must file a long-term disability claim, they must submit documentation and evidence.  Additionally, they must deal with the insurance company.  All this can become overwhelming, especially when simultaneously managing their health condition.  Some claimants may decide to handle their LTD claim on their own, but this is not always the best option.

Luckily, this is not a process you must do on your own.  Consulting an experienced Texas long-term disability insurance attorney is beneficial for your claim.  Our law firm has offices in Texas and can serve San Antonio residents who must file for long-term disability benefits.  Some of the ways we help our clients include:

CCK Can Collect and Submit All Evidence for Your LTD Claim

CCK’s experienced attorneys serving San Antonio, TX can help you collect and submit all evidence for your claim.  Evidence is necessary to prove that your condition meets your policy’s definition of disability.  Some claims may require supplemental evidence, which we can gather too.  Such evidence we gather can include:

• Specialized reports from your treating physicians: Your doctor has unique insights into how your condition impairs you. Ordinary medical records often do not tell the entire story about your disability.  Thus, your doctor can write a report highlighting key disabling aspects of your condition, which can bolster your LTD claim.
• Witness reports from family, friends, and co-workers: Others often see how your condition affects you and can vouch for your inability to work. For example, friends and family see how your condition impairs you in your private life, and co-workers can attest to how your condition prohibits you from working.
• Additional medical and vocational evaluations: CCK works with several outside experts who can provide your claim with much-needed objective evidence. Such experts can provide vocational evaluations, neuropsychological assessments, functional capacity tests, and more.
