When Your Disability Claim is Denied
If a medical condition has left you unable to work and support yourself and your family, getting turned down for disability benefits can be a devastating blow.
Don’t get discouraged and give up! Having a claim denied by a government agency or private insurance company isn’t the end of the process. In fact, it happens to a lot of applicants when they first file a claim for disability benefits.
The reasons for denial are many, from incomplete medical records and unclear documentation, to insurance companies who act in bad faith and use unfair tactics to avoid paying claims.

Harlingen Long Term Disability (LTD) Insurance Denials
Individuals purchase group long term disability insurance policies through their employers and/or private individual LTD benefits plans through an agent to provide for their financial needs in case they become unable to work due to injury or illness. Unfortunately, when a policyholder becomes too disable to work and needs those benefits, the insurance companies often make it as difficult as possible to collect the benefits they paid for. They use all sorts of tactics to unfairly deny and delay a claim, all in hopes of discouraging an individual from pursuing their claim. When this happens you need a resourceful law firm with years of experience acting on your behalf.
Marc Whitehead & Associates has successfully handled hundreds of disability insurance cases, overturning denied claims with group insurance plans (under federal ERISA law) and privately purchased insurance policies. We aren’t afraid to take on the big insurance companies like Aetna, Cigna, the Hartford, Liberty Mutual, UNUM and others.
In cases involving long term disability insurance, your insurer will most likely require that you also file for Social Security Disability. Be careful — they’re doing this to help themselves, not their policyholders. In addition to your ERISA or individual disability insurance claim, Marc Whitehead & Associates can coordinate and represent you in your Social Security Disability claim — potentially saving you thousands in benefits.
