Description

A Lawyer's Guide to Filing Long-Term Disability Claims and Appeals Allan Checkoway ISBN 9781641052955

Disability claims require tailored strategies, as policy language can vary significantly—particularly with respect to how “total” and “partial” disability are defined. A one-size-fits-all approach is rarely effective.

This comprehensive resource equips attorneys with a practical understanding of the four primary types of long-term disability (LTD) insurance: individual policies, group coverage, Social Security disability benefits, and Veterans Affairs disability benefits. It offers detailed guidance on the claims process, including common reasons for claim denials, frequent filing errors, and best practices for helping clients communicate effectively with claims examiners and treating physicians. Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, the author provides practical insights to help attorneys navigate the complexities of LTD claims and advocate successfully for their clients.

In addition, this publication serves as a valuable guide for lawyers advising clients who are considering the purchase of individual or group disability insurance. It thoroughly explains the various definitions of disability, the types of coverage available, and the specialized terminology involved, while also offering strategies for securing comprehensive and effective protection.
