Disabling Conditions Attorney

Disabling Conditions Can Strike Anyone

As our San Fransisco, CA disabling conditions lawyer knows, a serious accident or sickness can befall the most dedicated, hardworking person. People struck with a disabling condition often battle painful, exhausting and incapacitating symptoms in an effort to remain at work.

When your insurance company denies your claim, it may tell you that you are perfectly capable of working. Your insurance company may utterly disregard that you applied for disability benefits reluctantly and only after “toughing it out” for as long as possible.

Disabling Conditions Vary Greatly

Disabling conditions vary greatly. A disabling condition may involve a back or neck injury, a hand injury, a repetitive stress injury, a neuropathy, an autoimmune disorder such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis or Sjogren’s Syndrome, a heart condition, a stroke, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder or another type of injury or illness.

Some disabling conditions do not cause detectable abnormalities on physical exam. Although your insurer knows very well that a person can be disabled and have no “objective signs,” it may still deny your claim due to the absence of “objective” signs or abnormalities. Courts have harshly criticized insurers for denying claims based upon the absence of abnormalities that are commonly absent with certain illnesses or injuries — but insurance companies keep denying these claims for these reasons just the same.
