Tampa Disability Lawyer

If you suffer from an illness or injury that prevents you from working you may file a claim for long term disability benefits. Proving disability, however, is a necessity in order to obtain the benefits you deserve. The burden of proof rests on the claimant’s shoulders, so you may wish to talk to a Tampa long term disability lawyer to discuss your options. We offer a no recovery, zero-fee guarantee, so you can hire an attorney without taking any risk.

Our Tampa Long Term Disability Lawyer Will Fight for the Benefits You Deserve

ERISA laws are very complex, but a Tampa long term disability lawyer understands the administrative deadlines and critical issues that need to be addressed in order for a claim to be successful. It is essential that an experienced long term disability lawyer review the claim file at the appeal stage in order to determine what additional medical and/or vocational evidence needs to be added to the administrative file and to determine what adverse information needs to be rebutted. While no two cases are the same, the Ortiz Law Firm has developed a system to prepare a comprehensive appeal in support of your claim.

You Only Have a Limited Time to Appeal Your Denial

Typically, you have to submit your long term disability appeal to the insurance carrier within 180 days of the date of the denial or termination of your claim. If you fail to submit your appeal within the specified time frame then you may become ineligible for the benefits you deserve. Under many long term disability insurance policies, you cannot take legal action, such as filing a lawsuit against the insurance carrier, unless you have “exhausted” your appeals. Therefore, you should speak with a Tampa long term disability lawyer immediately after receiving your denial or termination letter.

What Will a Tampa Long Term Disability Lawyer Do for You?

Mr. Ortiz and his staff offer detailed advice to clients throughout the appeals process. Here are the most important things he will do in your case:

  • Understand the reasoning behind your long-term disability claim denial.
  • Acquire additional medical records and evidence to file the appeal.
  • Obtain opinions from your treating doctors concerning your impairments resulting from your injury or illness.
  • Complete the appeals paperwork.
  • File your LTD claim appeal within the required time limits.

As you can see from the other articles on this website, ERISA rules and regulations favor insurance companies and it is easy to make a mistake in appealing a long term disability denial. That is why you should at least consider contacting an attorney early in the appeal process if your claim has been denied or if your benefits have been terminated.

Kris K.

Mr. Ortiz was pleasant and compassionate towards me since my very first phone call to him. He and Suzie made sure that I understood every step along the way about my medical disability claim. They were very professional and attentive to my case and took care of everything! I definitely felt like I was represented by a compassionate and "real" person, not just some attorney who is fake. He was very kind. I feel like Mr. Ortiz is an absolute expert with the Disability system! I thank God that I found Mr. Ortiz as my disability attorney and will not hesitate to recommend him to everybody!
