Meeting with an experienced BenGlassLaw long-term disability attorney will save you time and money and help you avoid both the classic claim process frustration and the top three mistakes claimants make when submitting an initial disability claim.

All BenGlassLaw Paid Pre-Claim Planning Sessions Include:

  1. Comprehensive review of the current medical records supporting your claim.
  2. Full review of any long-term disability insurance policies you are insured under.
  3. Consultation with an experienced long-term disability paralegal to prepare for your attorney planning session and outline our proven process for success.
  4. In-person/Telephone/Zoom meeting with you and one of our experienced long-term disability attorneys. You will walk away from the meeting with a defined strategy for moving forward.
  5. Comprehensive written report our our discussion after the meeting is over.

In the pre-claim planning session with one of our experienced long-term disability attorneys (which typically lasts 45-60 minutes) we will discuss:

  1. How likely is it that your claim will be approved based on your current medical records.
  2. How “good” your long term disability policy is based on the thousands that we have reviewed over the last 25 years.
  3. How you can make your claim stronger before submitting it to the insurance company.
  4. If you are currently working, whether or not you should stop work immediately.
  5. The proper date that you should give as the date of disability on the form.
  6. What will the process be once you submit the claim.
  7. What types of surveillance of you and your social media you can expect from the disability insurance company.
  8. The tax consequences of your monthly benefits.
  9. The role that social security disability will play in your claim.
  10. What you should say to your employer and when you should say it (and what you should never tell an employer.)
  11. What outdoor activities you should and should not engage in while your claim is pending.
  12. What work you may be eligible to do in the future without losing your benefits.
  13. How long your benefits will last once your claim is approved.
  14. The process the insurance company will use to evaluate your claim.
  15. What support you will need from your doctor, and what happens if your doctor does not support your claim.

BenGlassLaw fights for wrongfully denied workers across the nation. 

Since 1995, BenGlassLaw has been helping sick, injured, and disabled workers fight unfair claim denials, get the benefits they paid for, and get their lives back on track. We are passionate about restoring our client’s denied benefits because insurance policies should be part of the solution, not a cause of additional stress. What makes our team unique?

  • Our Experience. We file more long-term disability appeals and lawsuits than any other firm in the Mid-Atlantic. (Source: Pacer, the official government site for Federal Court lawsuits) 
  • Our Leadership.  Our work in ERISA Law is recognized and respected across the nation. We speak at national events and teach other national disability attorneys about our own techniques and processes for handling ERISA and life insurance denials.
  • Ongoing Support. Once we get our clients back on claim, it’s never them vs the insurance company again. For as long as our client receive benefits, we handle the insurance company — which is why we manage over $33 million in future disability benefits on behalf of our clients.
