Cancer Disability Claims Lawyer

San Francisco Cancer Disability Claims Attorney Serving Clients In California and Nationwide

Has An Insurance Company Denied Your Cancer Disability Claims?

Discovering that a cancer diagnosis is not enough to satisfy insurance company requirements for payment of disability benefits can be an earthshaking setback for an already distressed individual and family.

At a time when you need to focus all your energy on medical treatment, you may find yourself facing a wrongful disability claim denial or burdensome requirements such as visits to independent medical examiners. Often, during and after treatment for cancer, the side effects of both the disease and the treatment of the disease including chemotherapy, and other adjuvant treatments including radiation and medication, can themselves impair a person’s ability to work.

Obtaining long-term disability and other insurance benefits for people who have been treated for cancer is a clear focus at our respected, longstanding Bay Area insurance law firm. Our lawyers are prepared to exhaust all legal options in the effort to help you get the disability compensation you need to deal with medical expenses and replace your income while you cannot work.

Our dedicated lawyers’ knowledge extends across the spectrum of claim denials for legitimate reasons, due to mistakes and driven by insurance companies’ bad faith dealings with their clients.

We are prepared to deal with all aspects of your case whether you have been denied disability benefits, your benefits are being terminated, or your insurance company appears to be building a case for denying payment of your claim. You will benefit from personal attention and determination to win results for you if you are coping with any type of cancer, including:

  • Lung cancer
  • Breast cancer
  • Colon or rectal cancer

Decades Of Experience Building Disability Claims For Success

In many cases, an insurer’s position that a particular cancer is not disabling ignores the impacts of chemotherapy, radiation and other treatments on your ability to perform your work duties. We strive to ensure that all considerations in your case are taken into account and that you ultimately receive all the benefits available to support your recovery.
