Have you applied for disability benefits and been denied? Whether it’s long-term disability insurance or Social Security Disability Insurance matters you’re dealing with, you can benefit from working with an experienced Newark disability lawyer. We have recovered millions of dollars in benefits for our clients in New Jersey and nationwide. We represent claimants in Newark, New Jersey, in Essex County, and throughout the state.
We represent both group and individual disability insurance claimants whose claims for long-term disability (LTD) benefits have been wrongfully denied or terminated. We also represent Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) claimants. We assist those in Newark with filing an initial claim for benefits or appealing a denied claim all the way through a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
Newark Long-Term Disability, ERISA, and Disability Insurance Lawyer
In many claims, our assistance includes filing an administrative appeal with the insurance carrier. In other claims, we may be able to file a lawsuit without having to file an appeal. We will review the terms of your insurance policy to determine the appropriate course of action for your unique case.
In addition to our free consultation offer, we also offer a “No Recovery, Zero-Fee” guarantee, so you can seek assistance with your disability claim without any risk. We have experience with all of the major insurance companies and will use our experience to fight for the benefits you deserve. Our Newark long-term disability lawyer can assist you with the following aspects of a disability insurance claim:
- If you have been denied benefits, we will file an appeal with the insurance company, that may result in the insurance company to overturning the denial.
- If you have filed the maximum number of appeals allowed under the terms of your policy, we may be able to file a lawsuit against the insurance company.
Does the Ortiz Law Firm Handle Long-Term Disability Claims Anywhere in New Jersey?
Yes, we represent long-term disability claimants not only in New Jersey but also nationwide!
There is no need to visit our office. Your free consultation will be a phone appointment. As for communicating with you, we use an electronic signature service for much of our correspondence, and then we communicate by e-mail, fax, and phone.
This is possible because most long-term disability cases are governed by a federal disability law called ERISA. When you are dealing with ERISA, you do not have the right to a jury trial, and, in most cases, you do not have the right to engage in extensive discovery. This means that at the end of the day, most of the work is paper-driven, involving a lot of brief writing, and a lot of correspondence by mail. There are very few court appearances required. As a result, we can handle a federal court case anywhere in the country.
Even if your case is not governed by ERISA, we evaluate each case on a case-by-case basis. Nick Ortiz can either be admitted to the local federal court for Newark through what we would call a pro hac vice admission, or he can file a lawsuit here in the state of Florida. Again, what we do is evaluate each case on a case-by-case basis. If your claim has been denied or terminated, contact us as soon as possible to schedule your free case evaluation.
