New Jersey Worker Disability Claims Attorney
Occupational Disability Claims & General Disability Claims
If you have been hurt or are suffering an illness that keeps you from working, you may be entitled to compensation under a private or employer-sponsored policy of insurance.
The differing standards for obtaining disability benefits from federal, state, and private sources may often leave a claimant unsure of the standard to be met. While public assistance for disability benefits often requires that the claimant be unable to perform any gainful employment, a lesser standard is applied when claiming benefits, such as disability income insurance benefits, from private sources. Consequently, it may be possible to obtain private disability insurance benefits while the claimant remains employed.
We’re prepared to do what it takes to get you the reimbursement you justify. Don’t wait to hire a trusted workers’ compensation lawyer.
Private Disability Insurance
There are two basic types of private disability insurance policies: occupational and general.
- An occupational disability policy provides the insured with a source of income in the form of disability benefits when the insured is no longer able to perform substantially all of the material acts of his or her occupation, as designated in the policy.
- A general disability policy typically provides benefits when the insured is unable to perform substantially all of the material acts of any occupation. Whether an insured under a general disability policy satisfies the definition of total disability depends on the insured’s training and experience and future ability to secure gainful employment.
Both types of coverage serve to compensate the insured for the inability to engage in gainful employment; however, the scope of the coverage available under the two types of policies differs greatly.
Both types of coverage require that the insured sustain some type of physical or mental loss, often as a result of a specific cause, such as an illness or accident.
However, neither type of insurance coverage requires that the insured be completely incapacitated before benefits can become due. Instead, an insurer is required to consider a variety of factors before reaching a determination of a claimant’s right to benefits.
At our office, we handle all matters related to disability claims. We will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances of your claim and will prepare and file all documents necessary to help you seek the benefits to which you are entitled.
We have expertise in this area of law, a strong professional history of successful cases and a full suite of legal services we can draw upon to assist you in any circumstance. Prepared to battle for your rights.
