Bartolic Law helps Sales Associates get their long-term disability benefits approved. We have helped countless individuals at every stage of the process, whether making a claim, getting a denial overturned, or filing a lawsuit. Sales Associates jobs usually involve either significant travel, or a considerable amount of work in front of a computer, each of which present their own unique vulnerabilities to certain illnesses or injuries. We have succeeded with both.
In one case, our client began a sales role after years in construction following a back injury. The injury eventually led to Cervical Radiculopathy and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in the client’s arms and hands. The symptoms impaired the client’s ability to work on a computer, which was required for the account management. We helped the client recover by showing the client’s limitations and their effect on that type of sales role. In another case, a client who traveled considerably in Sales suffered from Lumbar Radiculopathy. Most of the client’s destinations were 45–60 minutes away by car or required flying. By documenting the client’s travel log, we showed that the client could not sit long enough at one time to make the trip to client sites for meetings. Unlike most office jobs that permit changing positions at will, travel does not always permit that accommodation.
Have you worked hard as a sales associate to build customer or client loyalty and become a valuable member of your company’s team? This can be rewarding, but for some people, it can also be fleeting. Whether you are working in a retail store, selling insurance from a desk, or any other type of sales, you need to be on your game at all times.
