Short-Term Disability Claims
Short-term disability (STD) benefits provide crucial financial support for individuals unable to work due to illness or injury. These benefits, often part of an employer’s group insurance plan, typically cover a portion of your salary for up to six months. That said, the exact duration and compensation rate can vary depending on the specifics of the plan.
Although short-term disability claim benefits are typically disbursed without issue, at times they are unjustly denied or prematurely terminated. In such cases, you want to get in touch with a lawyer as quickly as possible. Avoid the complicated appeals process your insurer will have you complete and instead have a lawyer argue your case.
Experienced lawyers that are familiar with the complex landscape of insurance claims can better defend your rights and help secure the benefits you deserve.
McNally Gervan – Trusted Legal Advocacy for Your Disability Claim
When short-term disability claims are denied or unfairly terminated, the loss of income can add pressure to an already difficult recovery from injury or illness. Denials and termination can arise for a number of reasons, from alleged insufficient medical evidence to interpretational discrepancies within the policy’s terms.
Our experienced lawyers respond by carefully examining the grounds of each denial or termination, and identifying any potential inconsistencies or oversights. They then gather relevant medical evidence and craft arguments with the aim of having the insurance company reverse their decision.
