What Conditions Can You Get Disability Benefits For?

John Tucker and his team of disability attorneys have handled disability insurance claims and lawsuits involving many different conditions. Keep in mind that you are not disabled just because you are diagnosed with a disease or have an injury. Each condition you suffer from can cause symptoms that create disabling restrictions and limitations. However, it is important that your disability insurance attorney knows and understands the medical conditions you have, and how those conditions impact your ability to work.

The following list reflects some (but certainly not all) of the medical disorders that Mr. Tucker and our team at Tucker Law Group have handled while fighting to win disability insurance claims for clients like you for nearly nearly 25 years.
