Philadelphia Small Group Disability Lawyer

Professionals-Athletes-Accountants-Business Owners

In our disability insurance law practice at Edelstein, Martin, & Nelson, we often encounter professionals who have private policies, group disability policies or mini group disability plans.

Specialty Riders

Some of these plans have specialty riders or specialty letters including specific provisions that relate to the specific group. For instance, a CPA group plan may have a provision relating to the hours worked at tax season. For example a trial lawyer may have a provision in his/her policy relating to hours worked per week performing trial work and litigating cases in court. Likewise, surgeons and other professionals may have similar detailed provisions in their policies.

Professional athletes' policies may provide that a claim may be denied based upon a doctor's opinion that the athlete is suffering from a pre-existing condition or the athlete still has the ability to engage in their employment or other employment.

Bad Faith Insurance Claims

Whatever the size of the group, however the insurance company attempts to limit its liability; our attorneys have seen it all. We have settled numerous cases for hundreds of thousands of dollars each. The medical and vocational experts which we have retained on behalf of our clients over the years are experienced and always prepared to battle the insurance companies over the nature and extent of our clients’ severe and often permanent disabilities. We also use medical experts in many instances to contest the insurance companies’ claims that our clients have the residual functional capacity to perform substantial gainful employment.
