What questions should I ask before hiring an attorney to take my disability case?
Some lawyers only take disability insurance cases with the intention of settling claims. While it is sometimes in the best interest of the client to settle a disability case, you want a law firm that has the resources and willingness to go to trial for you when appropriate.
Here are two important questions you should ask every law firm or attorney you interview. |
Questions You Should Ask Before You Hire a Disability Insurance Attorney
Many policyholders are shocked to learn their disability insurance policies don't provide the promised benefits when they need them most. The insurance company has an interest in finding reasons to not pay on your disability claim. Some lawyers may not have the resources or experience to represent you and take on your insurance company.
Before you hire an attorney, be sure to ask two important questions to ensure you are hiring the best attorney to help you resolve your disability insurance claims issues:
-
Do you litigate disability cases or only settle disability claims denials?
There are some law firms that work like “disability case” mills. The will simply attempt to settle your case which may not always be in your best interest.
We not only litigate for the disabled, but our law firm introduced the legal concept of insurance bad faith in 1971 by winning disability benefits for a disabled farm worker, Otis Drake, whose disability benefits had been cut off. In 1979, we established the legal precedent for insurance bad faith in Eagan v. Mutual of Omaha, a case involving another disabled worker.
