Disability Appeals

Tampa Bay Disability Appeals Attorney

Private Disability Appeals ∙ Social Security Disability Appeals

As professionals progress through life, there may come a time when performing the same specialty work functions becomes impossible. Many doctors, surgeons and other medical professionals elect to purchase a private disability insurance policy to provide income to their family should this ever occur. Unfortunately, the process for obtaining benefits can be bureaucratic and frustrating, resulting in many professionals giving up after receiving benefit denials.

Benefits Denied? Contact Attorney Walter Carfora 727-823-9780

The St. Petersburg law office of Walter Carfora, P.A., provides skilled representation to professionals whose benefits have been denied. The firm guides professionals through the private disability and SSD appeal process in order to recover their full benefits. Mr. Carfora focuses his entire practice on serving the legal needs of medical professionals. Contact Mr. Carfora to schedule an initial consultation.

The Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) governs private disability insurance coverage and procedures for determining benefit eligibility. In order to succeed in federal court appeals, it is essential to have an experienced attorney with knowledge in this complex body of law. Mr. Carfora is a board certified health law attorney with comprehensive knowledge and experience guiding professionals through disability appeals.

Under ERISA, professionals who have become partially or fully disabled and are no longer capable of performing the same medical specialty, may retire and begin collecting disability benefits under a purchased private policy. (Whereas non-specialty workers must prove they are permanently disabled and incapable of returning to ANY profession before recovering SSD benefits)

As an experienced health care law attorney, Mr. Carfora assists surgeons, nurse practitioners and other health care specialists prove the extent of their disability in order to succeed in private disability appeals. The law firm works diligently to provide the insurer with adequate documentation supporting the disability and how that disability renders the individual incapable of returning to the same vocational specialty. Mr. Carfora provides sophisticated legal representation and advice through court sponsored mediation and through trial.

Benefits Wrongfully Denied? Don't Give Up.

If private disability benefits or SSD benefits have been denied, it is important to have patience and not to give up. For experienced representation from a Florida disability appeals lawyer, contact Walter Carfora, P.A., today.
