Memphis is the second most populous city in the state of Tennessee and home to many disabled individuals, with 10.3% of the population under the age of 65 living with a disability. Individuals suffering from conditions that are severe enough to prevent work activity often apply for Social Security Disability benefits or long-term disability insurance benefits, but most claims are denied. If your claim has been denied, you may need the help of a Memphis disability lawyer.
Many of Tennessee’s largest employers, including HCA Healthcare, FedEx, and Vanderbilt University, offer disability insurance benefits to their employees as part of a group benefits package, and some people choose to purchase private insurance policies directly from an agent. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are another option, and you do not have to purchase a disability insurance policy to receive such benefits – most employees contribute to the SSDI program through payroll taxes.
The Ortiz Law Firm handles Memphis long-term disability insurance and Social Security Disability Insurance claims. If you live in Memphis and are unable to work due to a personal injury or illness, contact us to schedule a free case evaluation.
Memphis Long-Term Disability, ERISA, and Disability Insurance Claims
Do you have a long-term disability insurance policy as part of a group or employer-sponsored plan, or perhaps you purchased an individual disability insurance policy from an insurance agent? It’s important to know whether you have a group or individual policy so that you can be sure to follow all the necessary steps when pursuing your claim for benefits.
For example, an individual policyholder may not have to go through the administrative appeal process after a disability claim is denied. Instead, the claimant may proceed directly to filing a lawsuit against the insurance carrier.
If you have a group or employer-sponsored disability policy and your claim is denied, you must go through the administrative appeal process. If you must file a lawsuit, the process for an individual disability claim is very different from that for a group disability claim. An experienced disability attorney will make sure you understand all the important differences.
