Private Disability Insurance Plan FAQs

Despite the fact that claimants expect and rely on the receipt of disability benefits, private disability insurance carriers often deny, delay, undervalue, or mishandle benefits claims in an effort to discourage further attempts to secure benefits. If you have had a claim for benefits denied (or otherwise mishandled) by your insurer, then you may be entitled to challenge the decision-making of your insurer and obtain an award of damages that includes benefits, costs, and possibly even punitive damages.
