Louisiana Disability Attorney

Manned by Edward A. Doskey, our New Orleans, Louisiana office handles a variety of disability and insurance matters. In addition to Social Security Disability and SSI appeals, we handle denials of private long-term disability insurance (LTD) and accidental death and disability insurance (AD&D).

Why You Need a Disability Attorney

An attorney can help you from start to finish in the process of obtaining disability benefits. From the initial application to appeals and, if necessary, litigation, an experienced disability attorney can help you navigate the minefield of loopholes, exclusions and excuses used to deny valid claims for benefits.

The application processes for SSDI and private disability insurance benefits are similar in many ways. The main difference between the two, however, is that insurance companies are motivated by profits. Of course, they make money by charging premiums, but they also add to their bottom line by denying claims.

Our attorneys are familiar with the fine print in disability insurance policies and the tactics the insurance companies use to deny valid claims. Our attorneys can aid with the application process by showing you how to avoid common mistakes thereby maximizing the chances of having your disability claim being approved at the outset. Even if your claim is denied, our attorneys have the experience needed to handle the appeal process, and, if necessary, to sue the insurance company to obtain benefits on behalf of our disabled clients.
