How Our Disability Law Firm Can Help You
At Tucker Disability Law, we have helped thousands of Americans secure their benefits prior to the coronavirus outbreak. During these difficult times, we continue to help clients across the country.
Our team is keeping a keen eye on developments from governmental agencies that may affect our operations, but for the time being, we will continue to keep moving cases forward.
Important Updates
Disability Insurance Claims
At this time, it is important to note that group disability insurance claims, or ERISA claims, must be filed before a person is laid off or furloughed. If you are currently employed and suffering from a disability, we recommend that you call our office as early as possible. We are happy to be a resource in these difficult times.
Coronavirus and Disability Insurance Benefits
If you are unable to work due to contracting coronavirus, seeking disability insurance benefits may be an option for you. Many disability insurance policies may cover COVID-19. However, securing these benefits during an ongoing pandemic could prove difficult. You will need to support this claim with evidence such as a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Have questions about securing short term or long term disability insurance benefits? Our disability insurance lawyers are here to help you.
VA Disability Appeals
During the coronavirus pandemic, VA disability operations are continuing mostly as usual. Our law firm is staying on top of developments from the VA that may affect our services. For the time being, we continue to move cases through the appeals process. For more information regarding your VA disability appeal or the appeals process at this time, contact our firm. Our attorneys consider it a privilege to help veterans recover the compensation they deserve.
