Quakertown, PA Long-Term Disability (ERISA) Attorney

Long Term Disability (LTD) coverage is basically an insurance policy that protects an employee from loss of income in the event that he or she is unable to work due to illness, injury, or accident – for a long period of time.

It sounds pretty cut-and-dry, but often LTD coverage is out of reach for the people who need it most. Sometimes it’s because the paperwork is hard to understand, other times an applicant misses an important and time-sensitive deadline, and sometimes it’s because there’s not enough evidence gathered to support their claim.

The insurance claims process can be tedious and sometimes not quite straightforward. To try and manage the process yourself – especially when faced with an injury or illness – can be overwhelming and potentially detrimental to your claim.

What is Long Term Disability Coverage?

Disability insurance is a benefit generally found in an employer’s benefits package. Long term disability insurance covers a portion of an employee’s income, normally about 50%-70%, if the employee is injured or becomes seriously ill and cannot work – usually kicking in after a short term disability policy runs out. On average, short term policies end about 26 weeks after an eligible event. It’s also important to note that if you’re hurt off the job, worker’s compensation does not cover you, which is why long term disability coverage is so crucial. Depending on the company’s plan, long term coverage could be paid in full by you, the employer or the cost could be divided between you and the company.
