When Florida residents have a medical disability that keeps them from working, they often depend on their disability insurance to help them financially survive. Unfortunately, insurance companies sometimes refuse to pay, leaving people between a rock and a hard place. Such is the case with a Chicago man.
Work-related injuries may qualify for short-term and long-term disability benefits
Injuries that occur on the job may be compensated through a workers' compensation claim. However, injuries that result in a prolonged absence or even permanent disability may qualify the employee for benefits under their employer's short-term disability and/or long-term disability plans.
Do you feel paralyzed with fear or anxiety when you leave home?
If you do, you could suffer from agoraphobia. The hallmark of this anxiety disorder is a need to get away from situations and places that make you feel panicked, helpless, embarrassed or trapped. You may feel like you need to get back into your comfort zone.
