Many people find themselves needing expert legal help when you add the complexity of disability claims to that. Longo Lawyers helps Hamilton residents get the disability benefits they deserve.
Disability law is not something you can grasp without specific knowledge. The laws and policies governing disability claims are complex and hard to follow. Insurance companies sometimes make it even more complicated by rejecting legitimate claims or offering settlements way below what clients are entitled to. We’ve dealt with these tactics for many years and know how to counter them.
Many disability claims are denied on the first try. This happens even to people with real disabilities that prevent them from working.
