Maryland’s state appellate courts includes the Court of Special Appeals and the Maryland Court of Appeals. If the disability claimant resides in Maryland and the disability insurance company is located in a different state, and the amount of disability benefits payable is greater than $75,000, then the lawsuit can be filed in Maryland Federal District Court. If the disability insurance policy is an employer provided policy governed by ERISA, then the disability claim must be filed in federal court. Maryland has one Federal District Court.

According to the Maryland Department of Insurance there are more than 1,500 insurance companies that sell insurance products in Maryland.

Attorneys for Maryland Disability Insurance Claims

What qualifies as a disability in Maryland?

In Maryland, a disability is legally defined as an injury or illness that hinders an individual from carrying out major life activities, including work, self-care, and daily tasks. This definition encompasses both physical and mental impairments. To be eligible for disability benefits in Maryland, the applicant must have a significant impairment that has persisted or is anticipated to persist for a minimum of 12 months, or lead to death.

The disability must also prevent the applicant from engaging in substantial gainful activity (SGA). Substantial gainful activity is defined as any work that provides an income and involves significant physical or mental effort. For those who are self-employed, SGA is determined by the amount of income earned. In addition to meeting these criteria, the individual must also provide medical evidence proving that their condition meets the criteria of a disability under Maryland law. Depending on the type of disability benefits being applied for, there may be additional eligibility requirements that must be met.

What is the appeal process for disability benefits?

After your initial application is denied, you may request a reconsideration of your application. During the reconsideration stage, another review of your application will determine whether it should be approved. If you receive a second denial, you can request a hearing. You have 60 days from the date of the reconsideration’s denial to request a hearing. You will also need to submit any new evidence within 10 days of filing the hearing request.

The hearing is held before an administrative law judge and can be conducted in-person or over the phone. During the hearing, your disability lawyer in Maryland will present evidence to prove that you meet the criteria for disability benefits and explain why your application was denied. You are also free to testify during the hearing and question any witnesses who may have been called by either side. After the hearing, the judge will review the evidence and issue a written opinion. If the decision is in your favor, you will be awarded disability benefits. If not, you can appeal the decision by filing an appeal with the Appeals Council. If your appeal is denied, you may have the option of filing a lawsuit in federal court.

Do I have to file my disability denial lawsuit in Maryland?

In the event of a disability claim denial, our disability attorneys will usually have the option of selecting one of several states to file the disability lawsuit. More than 80% of short-term and long-term disability insurance policies are governed by a federal law called ERISA, which means that a Maryland disability insurance attorney can usually file a lawsuit in any federal court in any state.

Most Maryland disability lawyers will prefer to file a disability lawsuit in the state of Maryland. This is because the laws in Maryland are more favorable to claimants with regard to medical evidence and deadlines for filing claims or appeals. Additionally, if the insurance company failed to follow the proper procedures they may be required to pay penalties and attorneys’ fees, which can be significant if a case goes to trial.

It is important to remember that each state has different laws for disability benefits, so it is essential to consult a qualified and experienced disability lawyer in Maryland to ensure that you receive the best possible outcome with your claim. Your attorney can help you understand the legal requirements and provide guidance on how to present evidence of your disability. They can also represent you at hearings or appeals, negotiate settlements on your behalf and provide legal advice throughout the process.

Reviews From Maryland Clients

Choosing a disability law firm to represent you in the application, appeals, or lawsuit stages is no easy task. You want to look for a law office with legal experts who have extensive experience in dealing with initial disability claims, appeals processes, and litigation, and have handled thousands of claims. It’s vital that your chosen disability lawyers of Maryland have extensive legal resources, a well-earned reputation, and a high client satisfaction rate. Be sure to browse some of the client recommendations to make the best decisions:

James

This firm does exceptional work. I worked with them for my application for long term disability. My claim was approved on the initial application with one of the most notoriously difficult insurance carriers in the business. I’m 100% sure that this was due to my attorney Steven Dell. He was meticulous in shepparding me through the process making sure everything was done with precision and done correctly.

My anxiety thought this process was through the roof and Mr. Dell was always there to reassure me and peal me of the ceiling if needed. Mr. Dell and his assistant Merlin were always diligent and immediately responsive when I needed reassurance, help or something needed to be done. If you have a disability claim hire Mr. Dell and this firm. It will be the best money you ever spend.

Terri E.

The process has been exactly how I had hoped it would be. Disability is a scary, unfriendly process, even for those of us who have worked in the claims administration area. It seems to be designed to deny benefits with complicated rules, burdensome documentation requirements, and constant requests for information to the beneficiary and my doctors. As a patient/beneficiary, you can feel like you are all alone and that you spend too much time jumping through hoops for the disability provider.

After a few months of doing it myself, I realized I wanted an advocate who could advocate for me with the provider and answer all of my questions on the Erisa process and rules. I interviewed one attorney in Maryland who was actually adversarial with me (his future client) so it was an awesome breath of fresh air when I interviewed Stephen Jessup. He was polite, extremely knowledgeable, upbeat, and calm! He helped me to understand the process and where I stood in it.

He and Vanessa communicate and keep me apprised of events within my case and make recommendations on actions I should take to proactively help my case win approval (e.g., Functional Capacity Evaluation). They are truly my safety net and well worth every penny because they help manage the disability provider and my doctors as well as ensuring I am on track in the process. I don’t think I would have survived this without them.

Diane H.

I am a 62-year-old woman that got injured on the job and was unable to work. I had long term insurance that was paid by my job. In September 2017, I request a buyout from The Hartford insurance company. After receiving no word from The Hartford insurance company, for 10 months, I made the decision, to seek legal action.

My experience with Dell Disability Lawyers, particularly Attorney Rachel Alters and her staff was brilliant. I was very fortunate to get Attorney Rachel Alters to represent me on my case. From the time of my first conservation with Attorney Rachel Alters, I knew she had my best interest at heart, I felt confident that my case would be an open and shut case.

All my questions are always answered, I never felt confused in the process, and phone calls are always returned the same day if possible or the next. My e-mails were always answered in a timely matter.

Words cannot express how grateful I am for Attorney Rachel Alters, and her staff assisting me in the short amount of time that was given for the success in my case. Attorney Rachel Alters worked so diligently hard in my disability buyout case to bring a settlement as quickly as possible. In addition, Attorney Rachel Alters, is very detailed oriented, and follows through if there are delays.

Thank you for everything that you’ve done to help and support me. I am so grateful to Rachel Alters and her staff. They are awesome!

I would recommend Dell Disability Lawyers, because they are very professional and knowledgeable in what they do. If it was not for them I don’t think that I would have won my case. They are Attorneys you can trust on. Top Notch Attorneys!

Wendy H.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Rachel and her team. I felt like she listened, gave me her advice, and supported my decisions. The process was seamless and I did not feel that I was being bombarded with “task” as her team handled as aspects of my case. I am very pleased with the honest feedback and communication through the process. I would definitely recommend Rachel and her team at Dell Disability Lawyers law firm. Quality customer service, transparency, and action-oriented.

Demetric W.

Before I called Dell Disability Lawyers I called several law firms in my area and to my disappointment, I was unable to find a local attorney who I felt could really help me settle my long-term disability claim. I was at the end of my rope and I did not want to deal with my insurance carrier anymore because of the tactics they used throughout the years after I became sick. I was just about to give up until I discovered a Dell Disability Lawyers video on YouTube. I was amazed at the information presented because I felt as if they were speaking directly to me. As a result, I contacted the law firm and was able to speak to an attorney the same day.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Stephen Jessup for your professionalism and prompt way of handling my case. It is very hard to find a law firm that will educate clients on all of the logistics that lead up to the final settlement offer. I will recommend your services to anyone who has legal insurance needs in the future. I’m still in shock about my settlement. Your services have far exceeded my expectations in every way. Again, thank you for all you have done for me.

I would also like to thank Ms. Sonia R. Nogueira for your constant reassurance and for always making me feel like I could call you any time and as many times as necessary with questions. Thank you for your kindness.

I would recommend Dell Disability Lawyers because the attorneys are extremely knowledgeable and professional. When you call their office, they won’t lead you down the dark road of the unknown… what they will do is tell you exactly what they can do for you.

Top 5 Disability Insurance Cases Resolved by Dell Disability Lawyers in Maryland

Unum Approves Long Term Disability Application to a Program Manager — A Program Manager at an aeronautics company applied for short-term disability benefits with Unum after a car accident. Unum treated her claims with suspicion and belittlement. She sought legal help from Dell Disability Lawyers. Attorney Jessup provided substantial medical evidence to prove her disability. Despite Unum’s aggression, the attorney secured her short-term disability benefits. Unum then focused on her mental health to limit the payout for long-term disability benefits. This presents an ongoing challenge, as evidence of physical impairments exists.

Symetra reinstates LTD benefits for former VP of Grady Management, Inc. who had multiple strokes — The former Vice President of Grady Management, Inc. had his Long Term Disability benefits reinstated by Symetra Life Insurance Company. He suffers from several medical conditions including hyper coagulopathy disorder, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms, multiple strokes, and cognitive issues. Initially, Symetra approved his claim and paid for over two years. However, they later denied continued benefits based on a change in the definition of disability. They argued that our client could perform any gainful occupation, despite medical evidence to the contrary. Attorney Alexander Palamara of Dell Disability Lawyers helped construct a strong appeal using medical evidence and statements from treating physicians. After 90 days, Symetra reinstated the benefits and provided backdated pay.

Cigna reinstates claim of Archdiocese of Baltimore Registered Nurse following an appeal by Dell Disability Lawyers — Cigna denied a Registered Nurse’s short-term disability benefits and later denied her long-term disability benefits despite her health conditions and medical evidence. Dell Disability Lawyers reviewed Cigna’s claim file, found the improper denials, and built a strong case. They filed two appeals and successfully overturned Cigna’s decision, resulting in full payment of the short-term disability benefits and the start of long-term disability benefits. Cigna tried again, but Dell Disability Lawyers worked diligently and kept the nurse’s benefits intact. The firm continues representing the nurse, preventing future termination of benefits.

Dell Disability Lawyers helps Maryland teacher with Crohn’s Disease get long term disability benefits reinstated by Cigna — A former 3rd Grade Teacher in Maryland had her long-term disability benefits reinstated by Dell Disability Lawyers. Shestopped working in May 2013 due to various illnesses. Cigna, the policy administrator, initially approved her benefits in June 2013 but stopped payments in September 2014. The claimant contacted Dell Disability Lawyers in January 2015, who recognized the problems with Cigna’s decision. Dell Disability Lawyers launched an appeal and exposed weaknesses in the insurance company’s case. By May 2015, the claimant’s benefits were reinstated, and she received back payments. Shecontinues to work with Dell Disability Lawyers as the definition of disability changes after 24 months.

Hartford reverses denial of disability benefits for Adventist HealthCare employee with RSD/Complex Regional Pain Syndrome — A former Registered Nurse at Adventist HealthCare was denied long-term disability benefits by Hartford. She had beenreceiving benefits from January 27, 2010, to October 31, 2014. Hartford cut off her benefits due to a policy change in the definition of disability. Hartford believed she no longer fit their “Any Occupation” definition of disability. The client contacted Dell Disability Lawyers, who argued that the decision to terminate benefits was incorrect based on medical records. The legal team pointed out that the physician conducting an Independent Medical Examination for Hartford relied on covert surveillance and ignored medical assessments and surgeries done by her treating doctors. The appeal was successful and her benefits, including past dues, were reinstated.

5 Ways We Help Get Your Benefits Paid

Get Your Disability Application Approved

Our goal is to get your application for disability income benefits approved. Applying for disability benefits can be a difficult process and the information you provide is critical. Most disability insurance companies look at your application in hopes of finding a reason to deny your claim. Your disability company will ask you to complete numerous forms, interview you, request lots of information, speak with your doctors and possibly request to have you examined by their "hired gun" doctor.

Through our experience of having helped thousands of disability insurance claimants, our lawyers will guide you through the entire application process and give you the best chance to get your disability claim approved the first time.

Submit A Strong Appeal Package

If your disability insurance benefits have been wrongfully denied, then our lawyers know exactly what it takes to get your disability claim approved. You only get once chance to submit an Appeal, therefore every piece of evidence that will support your disability claim must be included. The goal is to win your disability benefits at the Appeal level, but while preparing your Appeal you must consider how a federal judge will review your disability claim if your benefit denial is upheld.

Preparing a strong disability appeal package is an art that requires you to understand how the courts interpret your disability policy language, ERISA regulations / laws, and how to strategically present evidence in support of your definition of "disability". We encourage you to contact any of our lawyers for a free immediate review of your disability denial.

Sue Your Disability Company

98% of the disability insurance lawsuits filed by our law firm have resulted in either the payment of benefits or a lump-sum settlement agreement. Our disability lawyers have filed ERISA governed and private policy long term disability insurance lawsuits against every major disability insurance company in state and federal courts nationwide and we love fighting for the "little guy" against the multi-billion dollar insurance company giants.

We have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients and we would like the opportunity to provide you with a free review of your disability benefit denial. There are many complex factors in a disability benefit lawsuit and the legal battle to win long term disability benefits can be fierce.

Prevent A Disability Benefit Denial

Approval of long-term disability is a continuous process as every disability insurance company will evaluate your eligibility for benefits on a monthly basis. You can never let your guard down and assume that your disability company will continue to pay your benefits for as long as you think you need them.

Our law firm offers a reasonable flat fee monthly claim handling service in which we handle every aspect of your long-term disability claim and do whatever it takes to make sure you are paid every month.

Negotiate a Lump-Sum Settlement

Let's discuss if a lump-sum settlement or buyout of your disability insurance claim is both available and makes financial sense for you. Our lawyers have negotiated more than five-hundred million dollars in disability insurance buyouts and we know how to get you a maximum settlement. A disability insurance company is not required to offer a buyout and not every disability company offers them.
