Disability Insurance Lawyer in Tampa Bay, Florida
If you have been confronted about a substance abuse problem, or if you have decided it's time to face your demons, you may get no sympathy from the disability insurance provider. Claims for disability benefits and expensive addiction treatment are often denied or delayed, adding stress and worry that is counterproductive to your recovery.
At the Tampa law firm of Corless Associates, we support your decision to get help for addiction. We also have proven results in standing up to insurance companies to demand that they honor their obligations under disability insurance policies.
Our legal team represents claimants in the Tampa Bay area and across Florida in appeals and litigation of long-term disability claims and Social Security Disability claims. Call 813-498-1623 or 877-517-5595 to schedule a free consultation
Substance Addiction Disability Claims
Whatever your addiction — alcohol, prescription painkillers, street drugs — it is an uphill battle to get insurers to acknowledge addiction as a disabling condition and to agree to cover in-patient treatment or other addiction recovery programs. We know that it is critical to your present efforts and your future to get disability coverage for lost income, medical care and professional treatment.
The irony is that a history of alcohol or drug abuse has an effect on disability claims. If you are viewed as a hopeless addict or as a high-functioning person who should be in the workplace, it can hurt your claim. We work with clients, family members, doctors, counselors, officers of the court and other professionals to document how the addiction is disabling, and also why the claimant is a good candidate for treatment.
