Disability Benefits

When an illness or accident prevents someone from working, Lebau & Neuworth attorneys swiftly and successfully represent clients in obtaining the full range of Disability Benefits an employee is owed from private insurance policies, employer-sponsored plans and Social Security. In fact, since 1997 we have won millions of dollars in Disability Benefits for our clients – oftentimes individuals who were denied their rightful benefits.

Lebau & Neuworth lawyers quickly negotiate settlements or restorations of denied benefits for disabled persons, often without the expense and delay of litigation. We assist clients with both Long Term Disability benefits, such as ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) plans and private policy plans, and Social Security Disability benefits, including Supplemental Security income

If need be, Lebau & Neuworth also fights aggressively in court for the Disability Benefits of our clients, utilizing many years of experience in handling complex disability insurance issues while working with medical professionals and vocational rehabilitation specialists. We will not let insurance companies strong-arm an employee with benefits denials, unreasonable requests for additional information, surveillance, unannounced visits or repeated demands for “independent” medical exams or tests.

Whatever the circumstance related to a client’s situation, Lebau & Neuworth provides the proper guidance through the Disability Benefits application or (if necessary) appeal processes for individuals suffering from disabilities that can include:

• Cancer
• Arthritis

• Brain Injuries
