Bartolic Law helped many Engineers get their long-term disability benefits paid. We use our experience and knowledge of the unique demands of this occupation, and knowledge of the illnesses and injuries that more severely impact Engineers to demonstrate their inability to perform the occupation, or other occupations. In a recent case, we demonstrated a Network Engineer suffering from Parkinson’s Disease could not maintain the necessary fine motor functioning to perform the necessary computer work. We used diagrams of the type of tremor the client experienced to show how that particular tremor would affect working on a keyboard and mouse. In another recent case, we helped an Engineer make an initial claim. The client’s concern was experiencing an interruption in income by an insurer’s delay or denial. We guided the client through giving the insurer prompt notice of the claim, and providing all necessary proof, to ensure the client got the benefit paid as early as possible.
Engineers are highly talented and technical individuals who invent, design, build, and maintain many structures, roads, machines, and infrastructures that our society relies on. Gaining the necessary education, training, and experience in the field to become a successful engineer takes time, focus, and energy, and it can be devastating when a disabling condition causes you to be unable to continue working in the engineering profession. Different physical and mental disabilities can cause issues that make it impossible for you to work as an engineer. In this situation, many people turn to their disability insurance companies to seek benefits for financial support.
Different physical and mental disabilities can cause issues that make it impossible for you to work as an engineer. In this situation, many people turn to their disability insurance companies to seek benefits for financial support. However, the claim process often turns out to be much more challenging than they might imagine, and many disabled claimants experience delays, wrongful denials, and other issues. The last thing you need when you are facing a disability is to deal with a difficult insurance company that refuses to pay your benefits. Leave the claims process or appeals to a Chicago disability lawyer who can evaluate your claim and take the necessary steps to obtain the full disability benefits you need and deserve.
Engineers increasingly perform their work on machines, whether through design software, or through maintaining systems. Conditions that impair Engineers’ hand/upper extremity functioning disproportionately affect them. Illnesses like Parkinson’s Disease disproportionately affect Engineers because of the impact on fine motor functioning and control of hands and fingers. Engineers who can no longer work due to disability should not wait to consult with Bartolic Law. We handle disability claims for a wide variety of professionals, and we can assess your situation.
