Chronic headaches and migraines are about three times more common in women than men and may affect more than 12% of the U.S. adult population.
Individuals with headaches and migraine conditions often have increased sensitivity to light, noise, and odors and suffer from nausea, vomiting, and pain that can keep them from working with any reasonable continuity.
According to Johns Hopkins University, despite their dramatic symptoms, chronic headaches and migraines are rarely due to an underlying problem that will appear on any testing, even brain MRIs. While some respond well to specific treatments, some conditions are particularly severe, long-lasting, and physically and emotionally impairing.
Because of the difficulty in diagnosing these life-altering conditions, many headache and migraine sufferers are denied disability insurance claims, causing significant financial hardship.
Our Florida and nationwide headaches and migraines disability insurance attorneys assist policyholders throughout the U.S. in strategically submitting their claims by outlining the severity of their conditions, compiling the necessary medical records to support their disabilities, and negotiating with their private or employer-provided insurer to achieve the benefits they are entitled to for their impairment.
Call us today to learn more about how we have successfully produced real results for real people across the U.S. who need our help and how we can assist you in moving forward with confidence during a free consultation.
When are Headaches and Migraines Considered Impairments?
Headaches and migraines are chronic medical illnesses that impact the physical and emotional well-being of those living with these challenging conditions, as the symptoms may make even the most minor employment tasks seem overwhelming.
This can make working in any industry or position more than a challenge — but unachievable in both short- and long-term capacities.
According to the Mayo Clinic, common symptoms associated with chronic headaches and migraines include, but are not limited to:
Constipation.
Difficulty speaking.
Fluid retention.
Food cravings.
Frequent yawning.
Increased urination.
Mood changes from depression to euphoria.
Nausea and vomiting.
Neck stiffness.
Pain that throbs or pulses.
Pain usually on one side of your head, but often on both sides.
Pins and needles sensations in an arm or leg.
Sensitivity to light, sound, and sometimes smell and touch.
Vision loss.
Visual phenomena, such as seeing various shapes, bright spots, or flashes of light.
Weakness or numbness in the face or one side of the body.
No matter where you work or which industry you are in, if you have disability insurance, you should be able to access the benefits associated with your coverage when headaches and migraines keep you from working. Our Florida and nationwide disability insurance claims attorneys want to help ensure that is true.
Here, you will work with a team of skilled and compassionate disability attorneys and support staff who will manage your case without leaving a single detail to chance. It is essential that our clients know we care about their well-being, and that begins with providing the help they need to move forward with a claim that helps them get their lives back.
