Disability Insurance

When considering insurance, most people think about their large investments. Homeowner and automobile insurance protects consumers from a financial burden in the case of damage, but what security is there for sources of income? Disability insurance provides individuals a way to ensure that their income is not stopped if they become disabled due to injury or illness. However beneficial this protection can be, disputes can arise. Hiring a disability insurance lawyer to defend your claim or help you maintain benefits can be necessary. If you depend on disability insurance to pay for expenses, a disability insurance attorney at the Coye Law Firm can help you get the coverage you need.

The Social Security Administration estimates that an individual has a three in ten chance of becoming disabled before they reach retirement age. Although the federal government provides most people with basic protections, it may be necessary to buy extra protection for the unexpected. 
 
Sources of Insurance
 
Disability insurance is available through many sources, such as:
Social Security disability insurance is a federal program that protects citizens from losing money because they are unable to work. Employer programs also protect employees in the event of personal injuries, one program being workers compensation. Our workers compensation lawyers specialize in this area, and they can answer questions you have about benefits and qualifications. Disability insurance may be offered in addition to your employer's health insurance program or not, depending on your benefits package. Veterans Affairs protects military personnel and their families from financial hardships resulting from injury or death. These benefits, however, have been criticized for being too slow or too little. If you are self-employed or work for an employer that doesn't provide benefits, private disability insurance plans are available. The scope of what constitutes a disability often has an effect on the price of the policy.
 
Statistics about disability coverage, including the chances of becoming disabled and number of individuals insured, are available in this chartbook provided by the Society of Actuaries and America's Health Insurance Plans.
 
Filing Claims
 
Each source of insurance has different qualifications for receiving benefits. The Social Security Administration, for example, states that a person cannot receive benefits until he or she has been considered disabled for at least 5 full months. More about the Social Security process can be found here. Medical records, written proof, and examinations may be necessary to prove to your insurer that you need to start receiving benefits. Keep track of any documents related to your disability to strengthen your case. Read more about filing insurance claims.
 
Multiple Sources of Benefits
 
Disability insurance is designed to protect a person or employee from losing wages in the event of a disabling injury. If this happens on the job, they may receive workers' compensation benefits as well. No matter what claim you are pursuing, an insurance company may deny or limit the benefits you receive. Individuals who have a disabling injury and need to collect more benefits than they are receiving should consult experienced disability insurance attorneys at the Coye Law Firm. If injured in a car accident, at work, or by someone else's negligence, you have many sources of liability for your injuries.
