Each policyholder who has paid into disability insurance is entitled to collect the appropriate amount of compensation when an illness or injury prevents them from working. When this fails to happen, these wronged individuals can hire a lawyer to retrieve the money that they are owed.
Financial hardship makes individuals desperate to receive their disability payments. But it’s important to be aware that a lawsuit against a negligent insurer can take up to a year to resolve. The lengthy time frame for these cases, which are usually settled out of court, is due to scheduling availability.
Lawsuits also extend uncomfortably long because of the time and money involved in gathering facts, information and evidence. Attorneys working on the case contact the insurer to obtain claims files, while also collecting medical records to prove a client’s case.
Upon amassing the necessary evidence, the lawyer will serve the insurance company and file with the court. A copy of the papers from this Settlement of Claim lawsuit is provided to the client. The client will see the compensation asked for on these legal documents.
