National Long Term Disability Insurance Attorneys

At Walker & Hern, our experienced disability attorneys have a long record of successful appeals on behalf of our clients. Rarely do we ever need to take an insurance company to court. But when that’s been necessary, we’ve negotiated many successful settlements and have a record of winning in the United States District Court and the United States Court of Appeals. Obviously, results depend on the facts of each case. At Walker & Hern, our long term disability insurance attorneys have the experience needed to file a strong appeal that will deter your insurance company from considering the possibility of defending themselves in court.

You’ve exhausted all of your appeal options? It’s time to retain experienced attorneys to file a lawsuit against the insurance company.

If you appealed on your own and the insurance company is still refusing to pay, then you need experienced long term disability insurance attorneys to take the insurance company to court. We will file a federal lawsuit on your behalf and aggressively battle the insurance company in court. We’ll carefully review the administrative record, which consists of your claim file and the appeal that you submitted. Then we’ll draft a complaint against the insurance company, make all court appearances required, conduct settlement negotiations, and prepare, file and argue a motion for summary judgment.

We Don’t Get Paid Unless You Do

We handle most long-term disability claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we charge a percentage of the amount recovered. It is contingent in that you owe us nothing if there is no recovery. We also advance costs and expenses.
