If you are an office worker and you develop serious medical issues, your ability to perform your work may be affected. If you have long-term disability insurance coverage, you should be entitled to benefits when your health issues impact your employability.
Sadly, many long-term disability insurance companies deny legitimate claims by office workers. This happens for many reasons, including the fact that the insurer may not view office work as a physically demanding job and the fact that many impairments routinely affecting office workers, such as carpal tunnel, can be hard to prove.

How an Atlanta long-term disability claims denial lawyer can assist you
An Atlanta long-term disability claims denial lawyer can provide help with every aspect of your long-term disability claim. Ideally, you will get help from day one before you submit an application so you can put together the strongest claim possible. If you’ve already received a denial, though, Julie A. Rice Law can:
- Assist you in determining if ERISA applies to your policy, in which case you will have certain requirements to follow during the appeals process, including submitting internal appeals and ensuring you provide your insurer with comprehensive evidence, as no additional evidence can be presented in court that you did not provide to the insurance company.
- Help you with the internal appeals process, including ensuring you provide the necessary evidence to demonstrate to your insurer why your claim should be approved and why you should be awarded benefits
- Representing you in court if necessary, once the internal appeals process has been exhausted, to try to get the benefits that you deserve.
Long-term disability denials can affect your ability to provide for yourself and your loved ones, and turning a denial into an approval can be a very complex process — especially if ERISA applies because you have a disability benefits plan that was obtained as part of your workplace benefits.
