Even some people with serious illnesses are deemed ineligible by insurance companies, which is why it is so important that anyone seeking these benefits retains the services of a competent attorney who can work to prove that they truly qualify. Once you hire us, we will speak with your employer or insurer and file your claim within 180 days.

In your claim, we will include a wide array of evidence, including medical records, test results, and, perhaps most importantly, doctor’s notes. As long as we can prove that your Chron’s disease prevents you from returning to work, we should receive the LTD benefits you need.
