    How Can an Attorney Help with Your Long-Term Disability Claim?

    While you can file your long-term disability claim out on your own, there are numerous benefits to having an attorney involved. Often, long-term disability policies have very specific definitions of disability you must meet to qualify as disabled from your job. The attorneys at Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick will meticulously comb through your LTD policy to ensure no detail or requirement is missed.  Our legal team has 33 years of collective experience working with numerous insurance companies and policies and know the kinds of evidence required to support your claim.

    We also know that insurance companies do not always work in the sole interest of the claimant, and often operate in a way that will benefit their own business.  They may seek to avoid paying claims wherever possible, which can lead to wrongful claim denials.  Our attorneys understand how insurance companies operate, and have experience meeting their complicated requirements and strict deadlines.  Missing a deadline can lead to a denial of benefits, so CCK will keep track of those deadlines to ensure none are overlooked.  We work to make sure that every detail of your policy is met, taking the responsibility off your shoulders so that you are able to focus on your health condition.

    To make sure you have the strongest possible case for long-term disability benefits, Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick attorneys will gather an array of evidence that proves your disability.  While medical records are often the leading source for long-term disability claims, our legal team may determine that your case can be strengthened by additional types of sources.  Such sources might include:

    • Treating physician reports: Reports by your treating physician can be important to your claim because medical records do not always delineate the full extent of your health condition. A report of observations can outline the day-to-day symptoms you have discussed with your physician that are not highlighted in your official medical documentation.
    • Impact statements from personal references: Statements from friends, family, and coworkers can bolster your claim because these relations have likely witnessed how your condition affects your daily life. Friends and family may be aware of how your condition impairs you at home, while coworkers may be able to provide insight as to how it impairs you at work.  Such witness statements can be very helpful to your claim.
    • Opinions from outside experts: It may be determined that your claim can be supported by additional opinions or examinations from unbiased experts. CCK works with professionals with vocational expertise who can evaluate your occupation and determine whether your impairment renders you unable to perform its duties and requirements.  Additional examinations may also strengthen your claim.  These may include functional capacity and neuropsychological tests.
