Understanding Long-Term Disability Claims in New York
Long-term disability (LTD) insurance policies are designed to provide income replacement when professionals become unable to work due to illness or injury. While these benefits are essential, the process to obtain them can be intricate, and insurance companies frequently deny claims for various reasons—some legitimate, others disputable.
Common reasons for denial include insufficient medical evidence, claims of pre-existing conditions, procedural errors in claim submission, and discrepancies regarding the severity or permanence of the disability. Facing a denial can be daunting, leaving individuals uncertain about their future financial security.
