How To Make A Disability Claim

Elliot Matloff (President and Broker, The Matloff Company) gives expert video advice on: How do I make a disability claim?

How do I make a disability claim?

If you have a disability, and you need to make a claim, you'd contact your insurance agent first. Your insurance agent would make sure that a claim form was sent to you and to your doctor. You would complete the form, send it to the insurance company, and the insurance company would evaluate it. They would probably ask the doctor for additional medical records to verify the type of disability you have, and come up with some ideas on whether or not they think your disability is going to last a long time. Occasionally the insurance company will have you checked out by their own doctor to make sure that it is a legitimate disability. Most of the time if you go to a quality doctor like a physician in your home town, and that doctor is willing to say that you're disabled, the insurance company will not reject that. But on the other hand, let's say that you have a neck injury from a car accident, and a year later you still say you can't go to work. If the majority of people who have a neck injury can go back to work after two or three months, they might suspect that there's something going on that's not exactly honest, so they have the right to have you checked out by other doctors; their own doctors, at their expense. If they choose to not pay you, and you feel they are not being honorable with you, you will obviously contact your insurance agent, and you'll probably contact an attorney to fight for you, because you cannot be left without money when the insurance company promised it to you.
