Short and Long Term Disability

St. Paul, Minnesota Lawyers Handling Disability Claims

Facing life with a short or long term disability is not easy. Adapting to limitations takes a long time. Medical and rehabilitation expenses add up quickly. You may not be able to perform the job you once did, making finances very tight.

Whether you were injured in a work-related accident or became disabled in another manner, you may have a right to pursue workers' compensation benefits and/or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. In some instances, you may also be entitled to benefits under a private short or long term disability policy provided by your employer or purchased on your own.

Private Disability and ERISA Claims

We handle short and long term disability cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not be responsible for attorney fees unless we recover for you. For most employees, disability policies provided by your employer are governed by federal ERISA law. Our lawyers represent clients in federal court on a regular basis to protect your rights in collecting the short and long term disability benefits to which you are entitled.

Workers' Compensation and Disability

A workplace accident can lead to either short or long term disability. Minnesota workers' compensation law has certain provisions that provide for medical treatment and the recovery of lost wages during this time. Benefits vary, depending upon your specific injury and the circumstances surrounding it. Our firm will work with you to ensure that you are receiving all of the benefits to which you are entitled.

Social Security Disability

Individuals who are permanently disabled through an accident, illness or other means are eligible to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. A majority of first time applicants are turned down, making it necessary to file an appeal.

From completing the necessary paperwork to standing by your side during the administrative hearing, we are fully prepared to assist you in every step of the appeals process. Our primary objective is always to help you secure the means to live a life of dignity. Contact us to schedule a free consultation.
