You Were Injured. How Long Will Coverage Last?
Long-term disability benefits provide a wonderful safety net: Your employer signs a contract with an insurance company, and that company agrees to support employees like you in case you are ever injured and unable to work, for as long as you need it.
It almost sounds too good to be true.
Unfortunately, insurance companies are much less interested in honoring those contracts than they are in selling them. They simply don't want to pay, and they will do everything they can to keep from having to do so.
If you need help securing long-term disability benefits for an injury you suffered, we can help. The attorneys at Fosbinder & Van Kampen, PLLC, in Charlotte, North Carolina, have a reputation for providing skilled, sophisticated legal services that get results.

An All-Too Common Scenario …
Every long-term disability case begins with an injury that puts an individual out of work. At first, this person will receive short-term disability benefits that last for a specified number of weeks. If the injury still hasn’t healed, he or she should begin receiving long-term disability benefits.
And this is where the insurance companies often begin to resist. They simply declare that the injury has healed and the injured individual is ready to return to work.
They do this in almost every case as a matter of policy because, sometimes, it works. The result is that injured individuals almost always need to hire lawyers in order to secure the supplemental insurance benefits that will sustain them in the future.
