Musculoskeletal Disorders and Long Term Disability

Your musculoskeletal system is comprised of your bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Musculoskeletal disorders may be hereditary, congenital, or acquired. Musculoskeletal disorders are perhaps the most common disabilities claimed in long term disability claims with insurance companies. The severity of such disorders typically depends upon how long the condition has been present and the constitution of the individual patient.

What Musculoskeletal Problems Qualify for Long Term Disability?

The most common disorders associated with the musculoskeletal system are back and neck pain, arthritis, traumatic insult or injury (often suffered in automobile accidents, workplace accidents, etc), and amputations.

Given the different areas of the body that comprise the musculoskeletal system, several other diseases may produce significant musculoskeletal signs and symptoms.  These other disorders include connective tissue or rheumatoid/rheumatic diseases. More than 100 diseases are classified as rheumatic diseases, including many types of arthritis. Arthritic conditions are typically distinguished by red, swollen joints and inflamed connective tissues such as cartilage, synovial tissue, and tendons. Other rheumatic diseases are considered autoimmune diseases, meaning that the body’s own immune system is turning on parts of the body.

Below is a more complete list of musculoskeletal disorders:

Jennifer W.

My claim was denied twice, but once the Ortiz Law Firm got involved my case was approved. Seriously, I am so pleased with Ortiz Law Firm and so thankful that they were able to help me and my family during these super difficult times. Tory and Mr. Ortiz were able to get my case approved and I will forever feel indebted to them because of that. Since I got sick my brain/thoughts aren’t what they used to be, but I would like to go on record with nothing but the highest regard for Tory & the Ortiz Law Firm.
