Who Does Disability Insurance Law Group Represent?
At Disability Insurance Law Group, our Tampa attorneys represent clients in all 50 states with a sincere focus on pursuing their disability coverage so they can access the benefits they are entitled to, no matter which type of disability insurance they carry.
Group disability benefit plans (typically governed by ERISA).
That includes:
Employees
Many employers offer group disability insurance as part of their employee benefits package. Employees can opt for this coverage to protect their income in case of a disability that prevents them from working. These policies often carry more restrictions, tighter deadlines, and overall submission requirements. We can help ensure our clients effectively fulfill the terms of their policy so they are more likely to access their benefits without disputes.
Self-Employed Individuals
Self-employed individuals, including freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business owners, often lack access to employer-sponsored benefits. Disability insurance can be crucial for them to maintain financial security if they cannot work due to a disability.
High-Income Earners
High-income people may have substantial financial obligations like mortgage, business, or lifestyle expenses. Disability insurance can help high-income earners maintain their financial stability in the event of a disability.
Sole Breadwinners
Individuals who are the primary income earners for their families have a significant responsibility to support their loved ones. Disability insurance ensures that their family’s financial needs are met even if they cannot work due to a disability.
Parents
Parents often rely on their income to provide for their children’s education, housing, and other needs. Disability insurance can help parents safeguard their ability to provide for their family in case of a disability.
Workers in Physically Demanding Jobs
People in physically demanding professions, such as construction workers, firefighters, and healthcare professionals, are at a higher risk of work-related injuries. Disability insurance can provide income protection if injured and unable to work.
Young Professionals
Young professionals starting their careers may have a long working life ahead of them. Disability insurance can protect their earning potential and financial goals.
Retirement Planning
Disability insurance can be a valuable component of retirement planning. It helps individuals protect their retirement savings and ensures they can continue saving for retirement even if they cannot work due to a disability.
Workers without Adequate Sick Leave or Paid Time Off
Some individuals may have limited sick leave or paid time off benefits through their employer. Disability insurance can bridge the gap and provide income protection beyond what these benefits offer.
