Individual Disability Insurance Attorneys in Jacksonville
A Total Commitment to Excellence
At the Dabdoub Law Firm, our team of experienced Jacksonville insurance attorneys representsindividuals in all stages of their insurance claim for benefits which may include:
- Application for benefits process;
- Denial of benefits;
- Lawsuits to recover benefits;
- Lump sum policy buyouts for those who are receiving disability income benefits.
Insurance providers have been known to deny legitimate claims for disability benefits after they manipulate the facts to their own benefit, and almost always at your expense. Some insurance companies conduct surveillance and/or require you to undergo an independent medical evaluation or IME exam and/or a functional capacity evaluation or FCE. Such exams may be inconsistent with State and/or Federal laws and may violate the terms of your insurance policy. Your insurance company may not have a (contractual) right to ask you to submit to these examinations. An experienced disability lawyer can help you better understand your legal rights.
If your insurance carrier denies your claim for disability benefits, you may have a legal right to file a lawsuit. If this happens, you will want to gather your evidence and secure proper legal representation. As is the case with many insurance policies, you must first submit a written appeal to the insurance company –usually within a specified period of time, prior to filing a lawsuit.
If you live in North Florida and are considering filing for insurance benefits or have been denied total or partial disability benefits, we may be able to help you. If you would like to approach your insurance provider about a lump-sum buy-out or settlement of your disability policy, we can also help.
