Long Term Disability
People buy insurance in an effort to feel more secure knowing they will be taken care of in the event of an accident or injury. Individuals with long term disabilities rely on their benefits for survival and many have no other means of support. Sadly, insurance providers often take advantage of or mistreat those with long term disabilities and fail to provide adequate insurance coverage. This type of insurance fraud is known legally as “bad faith,” which refers to several unfair or fraudulent practices insurance companies partake in to delay or deny the payment of a valid claim. Those who are the victim of insurance bad faith have the right to take legal action against their insurance company. If you or someone you love has been denied long term disability insurance or is facing other insurance bad faith issues, we advise you to consult with a qualified and trusted attorney who can help protect your legal rights and maximize your interests.
