Reasons Private Disability Claims Are Denied

If you are trying to file a private disability claim, you may want to consult your physician as well as your attorney before you submit the claim. While some claims are denied because of simple things like a lack of submitting the proper paperwork, others are denied for much more substantial reasons. It’s always best to know what to expect before you attempt to file a claim, especially if you are taking the chance of doing it yourself. Here are some of the most common reasons a private disability claim is denied.

Disability Time is Too Short

Whether you file a claim for disability from the government or a private insurance company, time plays an important role in denial and approval. The entire point of a disability claim in any form is to help you recover some of the funds that you lose by not being able to go to work. However, each insurance policy has its own limitations on the length of time it will cover and the minimum length of time you will need to be off of work to receive benefits. For example, if you are going to be off work for a week, you may not qualify for most disability programs. It’s largely dependent on the policy you bought and the regulations of the provider.

Lack of Disability

Reasons Private Disability Claims Are Denied 2 What you may consider a disability may not be the same thing that the Social Security. Administration or your private disability insurer sees as a disability. Again, this is something you can cover with your physician as well as your New Jersey disability lawyer. Keep in mind that you should always follow the recommendation of your doctor, but you also need to find out if your doctor is going to support your disability claim before you file a claim. Private disability claims rely on this type of information to approve or deny the claim.

You may not be sure if your claim will be denied, but it’s crucial to consult a qualified Philadelphia disability lawyer before filing your claim. Call our PA offices at 215-515-2954 or our NJ offices at 609-557-3081 to schedule your free initial consultation.

Our family will always remember what Ethan did for us.

There are moments in life when everything feels like it’s hanging by a thread — and that was our family before we found Ethan Paraboschi. From the very first conversation, it was clear we weren’t just hiring an attorney; we were gaining an unwavering advocate who genuinely cared about the person at the center of the case. Ethan guided us through three serious charges...with a level of composure and clarity that immediately eased the weight on our shoulders. He didn’t just “handle” the case; he owned it, digging into every detail, preparing us at every step, and making sure we always felt informed rather than afraid. Our family will always remember what Ethan did for us. If you need an attorney who combines sharp legal skill with genuine humanity, someone who shows up fully for you when everything is on the line, Ethan Paraboschi is that person. We could not recommend him more.

I could not be happier with the service I received from Paul Young. He was available to speak to me all the time. Elayne is amazing as well! She too was always available for anything I needed.

Most important, the lawyers and staff are very nice people.

Very easy to deal with. The assistance and guidance received for my social security disability insurance (SSDI) hearing was key to my gaining acceptance (I failed 2 times previously). Most important, the lawyers and staff are very nice people.

I finally found the perfect law firm to help me after previous bad experiences with other law firms.

I finally found the perfect law firm to help me after previous bad experiences with other law firms. Young, Marr and Associates was dedicated to helping me and very experienced. I was so thankful that the attorney assigned to me was Ethan Paraboschi. I had all great interactions with Ethan as it was obvious he was dedicated and experienced. He reviewed the Pros and Cons of the next step and provided facts to help me make the right decisions. I was very confident in his recommendations. He educated me on the benefits of proper mitigation. I totally trusted his advice. Thanks to his knowledge and leadership my Sentencing Hearing was a positive outcome in my favor. My family was present to support me and afterwards each of my three family members said "Your Lawyer did a great job. He was good". We were all so thankful for his actions and I am so blessed by the results. Ethan Paraboschi afterwards still offered to assist me if needed in the future. I am grateful Ethan and his law firm were there for me. Call them first for legal counsel. So glad I called them.

From the initial consultation to the successful resolution of my case, Paul communicated each legal step clearly and concisely in layman’s terms.
