McKinney, Texas, Long-Term Disability Lawyer
In recent months, many of us have read newspaper articles about injured NFL players who have had difficulties obtaining disability payments. Denied disability claims are not just a problem experienced by professional athletes. Many average people have been unfairly denied long-term disability benefits from private and employer-sponsored plans. At the Law Offices of Michael Sloan in McKinney, Texas, we offer a free initial consultation to explain how disability benefits work and to evaluate your case.
Disability attorney Michael Sloan can help you with any disability issue you may encounter, including:
- Difficulty in applying for long-term disability benefits
- Denial of a LTD claim
- Having your LTD disability benefits cut off after you have been receiving them
Many insurance companies cut off long-term disability benefits for recipients. Sometimes this is done because the plan's disability requirements change after two years. For example, under many long-term disability plans, you must be unable to perform your regular job to receive benefits for the first two years. After two years, you must be unable to perform any job to continue to receive benefits. In other cases, the insurance company seems to cut off disability benefits simply because they are sick of paying them. If you have had an LTD claim denied or benefits cut off for any reason, it's time to see a lawyer.
We charge no upfront fees to represent you on a long-term disability claim. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a percentage of your past-due benefits. If we are unable to get your long-term disability benefits either started or restarted, you will owe us nothing.
Employer benefits such as long-term disability plans are covered by ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income and Savings Act), which offers protections to covered employees.
