Consulting a Texas Long-Term Disability Lawyer Is Beneficial for Your Pflugerville Claim
The disability rate in Pflugerville, TX is 7 percent. As such, many individuals in Pflugerville may face the reality of having to file or appeal for long-term disability benefits.

CCK Can Collect and Submit All Evidence for Your LTD Claim
Every long-term disability policy contains a definition of disability that claimants must prove their conditions meet to receive benefits. Thus, all claimants must submit evidence to their insurers. Many claimants rely on their medical records as their primary source of evidence. However, some claimants require supplemental proof too. CCK can collect and submit this evidence on your behalf. This evidence can include:
- Specialized reports from treating physicians: Your doctors have unique insights into how your medical condition prohibits you from working. Having open communication with them is vital so that they may fully understand the extent of your disability. A specialized report from them can highlight key disabling aspects of your condition that your medical records do not.
- Witness statements from family, friends, and co-workers: Others often see how your condition impacts you. Obtaining official witness statements from these individuals can bolster your LTD claim. For example, family and friends can explain how your condition impairs you at home, and co-workers can attest to how you are unable to perform the duties of your job.
- Additional medical and vocational evaluations: CCK works with several outside experts who can provide your claim with both medical and vocational evaluations. These evaluations can include functional capacity tests and neuropsychological assessments.
Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick Can Alleviate the Stress of Dealing with the Insurance Company
Insurance companies should handle every LTD claim neutrally. However, this is often not the reality that long-term disability claimants face. Instead, such companies — like Unum, The Hartford, and Liberty Mutual — prioritize their financial needs and deny claims. CCK understands how frustrating this is. We have gone up against all the big-name insurance companies and know how they operate and want to alleviate the stress for our clients.
Chisholm Chisholm & Kilpatrick can act as a point of contact between you and your insurer. This ensures that all communication passes through our law firm first. This frees up your time to focus on what matters most: your health. Additionally, if you receive a denial from your insurer, we can handle all aspects of your appeal.
For example, our team can review your insurer’s denial letter, request and review your claim file from them, and submit a comprehensive appeal to them on your behalf. If necessary, we have the expertise to represent you during litigation. In short, CCK holds these disability insurance companies accountable for their actions and will fight for your right to your benefits.
