Evanston Long Term Disability Lawyer

Evanston Long Term Disability Attorneys

Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), if you become disabled and cannot work, you may qualify for long term disability benefits. At Bartolic Law, we handle ERISA § 502 claims in Evanston and throughout the state of Illinois. While ERISA was originally intended to help disabled claimants receive benefits, ERISA language tends to protect insurers, and disputes regarding disability benefits are often drawn out. If you believe that you are entitled to long term disability benefits, contact Bartolic Law today for a free consultation.

Why Do You Need to Work with an Evanston Long Term Disability Lawyer?

Many people, especially those who are so disabled that their need for benefits seem obvious, choose to file their ERISA claims on their own and represent themselves during the application process. Unfortunately, even in cases in which the outcome of an ERISA claim would appear to be in the claimant’s favor, the insurer will deny the request for long term disability benefits.

In order to get approved for long term disability benefits under an employer’s disability insurance plan, the claimant must establish his or her disability and extent of disability. This will require a medical assessment and a vocational assessment. Further, ensuring that a claim is approved means filing within the required date, and being able to stand up to tough questions from an insurance adjuster. Even when a disability is obvious, an insurance adjuster’s bottom line is to save money, and only needs to find a small amount of evidence against you in order to deny your claim.

When you work with an Evanston long term disability lawyer from the onset of your application, you will have an advocate on your side who knows how to file an ERISA long term disability application, and will ensure that your application is filed free of errors. An attorney can also guide you in the event that your claim is denied, and assist you in protecting your federal right to appeal a denial.
