Hepatitis C Disability Claims Attorneys Representing Policyholders Throughout the U.S.
At Disability Insurance Law Group, our nationwide claims attorneys represent policyholders across the nation who become disabled from Hepatitis C and can no longer work.
An estimated 2.7 – 3.9 million people in the United States have chronic Hepatitis C.
There are approximately 17,000 new Hepatitis C cases yearly in the U.S.
As many as 75% of those with chronic Hepatitis C virus in the United States are unaware that they are infected.
Because of the lack of awareness in so many Americans who are infected, their chronic conditions can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver failure, and death if left untreated.
This is where disability insurance can make an essential difference in their lives.
When a disability insurance claim is denied, it can physically, emotionally, and financially devastate Hepatitis C sufferers. We want to help.
Our national Hepatitis C 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 insurers 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 is Hepatitis C Considered a Disabling Condition?
Whether Hepatitis C is considered a disabling condition depends on the severity of the disease and its impact on an individual’s ability to work.
Because the condition impacts everyone’s lives differently, if an individual’s Hepatitis C, prevents them from engaging in substantial gainful activity, they may be eligible for disability benefits.
However, some of the most common indicators include:
Significant liver dysfunction: This includes persistent jaundice, fluid accumulation in the abdomen, hepatic encephalopathy, or bleeding varices, among other complications.
Repeated manifestations of liver dysfunction: Individuals with Hepatitis C may be considered disabled if they experience repeated episodes of liver decompensation, with at least two episodes within six months and severe limitations in daily living activities.
Liver transplantation: Documentation of a liver transplant is considered a basis for disability.
If you have disability insurance, you should be able to access the benefits associated with your coverage when Hepatitis C keeps you from working. Our 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 important 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.
Whether your disability insurance coverage was underwritten as a private or employer-provided policy, we have over 50 years of combined experience pursuing all insurance coverages and corporations for the benefits policyholders nationwide deserve.
