How an LTD Attorney Can Help You Document the Full Duties of Your Occupation

Long-term disability (LTD) claims are daunting, especially when it comes to documenting the full duties of your occupation. At Bartolic Law, we understand how crucial this step is in securing the benefits you deserve. Our experienced LTD attorney is here to guide you through the process, ensuring every detail of your occupational duties is accurately documented and presented.

What is an Occupational Duty?

An occupational duty refers to the tasks and responsibilities that are essential to your job. These duties may vary depending on your profession, but they are critical in determining whether you are eligible for LTD benefits or not. It is crucial to have a clear understanding of your occupational duties, as they will serve as the basis for your disability claim.

Why Documenting Your Full Duties is Important

When it comes to LTD claims, insurance companies often scrutinize every detail, and having a comprehensive record of your occupational duties can make all the difference. A well-documented list of your duties provides solid evidence that you are unable to perform them due to your disability. This documentation also helps prevent any misunderstandings or misconceptions about the nature and extent of your job responsibilities.

How an LTD Attorney Can Assist

1. Analysis: We will conduct a thorough analysis of your job duties. This includes reviewing job descriptions, postings, and any narratives provided by supervisors or human resources. If no formal job description exists, we’ll work with you to create a detailed account of your responsibilities, including physical and cognitive demands, work schedule, and travel requirements.
2. Collaborating with Vocational Experts: We collaborate with vocational experts who can provide valuable evaluations to strengthen your claim. These experts analyze your job duties and compare them with national standards, ensuring the insurer’s classification is accurate. They can also highlight unique aspects of your job, such as stress levels and specific work schedules, that might be overlooked in generic evaluations.
3. Comprehensive Evidence Collection: An LTD attorney helps gather the essential evidence needed to support your claim. This includes medical records, witness statements, and additional medical evaluations. We ensure that all documentation aligns with the detailed account of your job duties, providing a cohesive and compelling case for your disability.
4. Legal Representation: In cases where insurers deny claims or classify occupations inaccurately, we are prepared to represent you in appeals and litigation. We have a proven track record of challenging wrongful denials and achieving favorable outcomes for our clients.
