If you have a private Short or Long Term Disability policy in New Mexico or Texas, and you become too ill or injured to work, you must file a claim for disability benefits with your insurance provider. This involves filling out an application, gathering and submitting necessary evidence, and communicating with the insurance adjuster assigned to your claim.

However, do you really want to undergo this hassle when you are already sick or injured? Do you have the mental and physical energy to do it on your own? If not, please contact The Jeff Diamond Law Firm right away, for our attorneys, Jeff Diamond, Ione Gutierrez, Richard Fischer, and Greta Fischer, can do all this to help you get the Short and/or Long Term disability benefits for which you paid.

If you have already applied but were denied, you must file an appeal with your insurance company. Each provider sets its own appeals process, and there are strict deadlines. Filing an appeal involves even more paperwork and gathering new and updated medical evidence. Again, let our attorneys and staff prepare and file a thorough and persuasive appeal on your behalf.

Finally, if your Short/Long Term Disability insurance provider denies your application and subsequent appeal, you have a strict deadline within which to file an appeal in Federal District Court. Your best chance of success is to have an attorney's help, so contact one of our qualified attorneys in Carlsbad, Albuquerque, Rio Ranco, and Roswell, New Mexico and Odessa and El Paso, Texas to schedule a consultation today!
