12 Secrets to Winning a Disability Claim

The procedure of collecting an insurance claim from an insurance company is not as easy and effortless as people might imagine it is. Just imagine: a person is physically injured due to an accident and he has to go through the long-drawn-out process of collecting insurance claim. Disability insurance companies claim they will support their customers in difficult times, but the truth can be very far from their claim, Attorney Jeffrey Hensley says.

To have a captivating result, Hensley said, claims should be pursued with steadfastness, and with the right kind of representation. Hensley said he has 12 "secrets" that he considers being the most important in the winning chase of a disability claim. Follow these steps, he says, and the chances of success go up incredibly:

Secret #1: Identify the problem (disability) when it occurs. People don't have to be ruinously injured or incurably ill to collect. Many policies offer money for partial disability as well. People should look for such things as loss of productivity, loss of income or the inability to perform the material and substantial duties of one's occupation.

Secret #2: Notify the claim to the insurance company as early as possible. Late notice could result in a considerable loss of monthly benefits.

Secret #3: Use multiple witnesses to identify the material and substantial occupational duties -- someone such as a co-worker or a vocational evaluation expert. The insurance company or jury must clearly understand the important occupational duties. Make sure witnesses identify and verify the duties of one's position.

Secret #4: Identify and focus on the material and substantial duties that can't be performed due to physical or mental limitations. Once the insurance company or jury understands the occupation's requirements, it must understand what duties cannot be performed due to the disability.

Secret #5: Document the loss of productivity with business records or even appointment calendars. The court looks for proof of the disability. Since memories often fade, it is important to present a case based on something other than one's memory. Written records, such as an appointment calendar -- and even a daily journal -- greatly increase credibility and give the jury the support it needs.

Secret #6: Use business records and income tax returns to document loss of earnings based on loss of production. The bigger the loss, the more likely the jury will recognize the disability.

Secret #7: Use past medical records to demonstrate the disability's onset and progression. Medical records provide accurate snapshots of symptoms and conditions. The better the doctor's documentation, the better the chances for a favorable jury decision.

Secret #8: Maintain a regular schedule of medical treatment. Avoid lapses in treatment to occur. When insurance companies see lapses, they are likely to suggest that no real disability exists. Insurance carriers may suspend benefits in the absence of ongoing medical treatment.

Secret #9: Identify and focus upon the physical limitations giving rise to the disability. The treating physician should understand and support the claim, since juries rely heavily on the doctor's evaluation and assessment. If the doctor does not support the claim, it may be time for a different doctor.

Secret #10: If the jury rules against the disability, there may be grounds for appeal. Simply getting a bad result at trial is not grounds for an appeal, but there may be a chance of reversible error -- an error so significant that the judgment must be reversed by the appellate court. That amounts to grounds for an appeal.

Secret #11: A loss in court does not stop you from filing of a new claim. Disability is a month by month contractual benefit. As medical conditions change, a new claim may be suitable.

Secret #12: If an insurance company has acted in bad faith, that may open the door to additional money damages.

Sexual Harassment, Identity Theft, and Political Intrigue Combine in High-Tech Legal Thriller

It starts with a uncomplicated and unwanted kiss and snowballs into a complex, trail of forgery and illusion, a hijacked identity, a corruption scandal involving a U.S. Senator accused of channeling unlawful benefits to a shady South American firm, even kidnapping and murder. "Wearing the Spider" by Susan Schaab, first in a series of fiction titles from Galavant Press, may be the only novel to combine elements of sexual harassment, identity theft, and political disgrace into one perfect plot set in the hard-driving corporate culture.

Evie Sullivan, a promosing legal star on the fast track to partnership at her honored New York law firm, is being set up for a fall, a BIG fall. Plagued with apparently inoffensive recordkeeping slip-ups at the outset, she overhears the fag-end of a shocking telephone conversation. Then, she is blindsided by discoveries that are much more troubling: impersonation of her email username and unmistakable sabotage of one of her client projects causing an upsurge of doubt within the firm about her competence. Once her name is linked to a deal containing a questionable, and possibly illegal, arrangement, she has no choice but to conduct her own secret investigation to clear her name.

An FBI agent faces up to her with tough questions about murder and fraud for which she has no answers. As she seeks out for the truth, the electronic evidence shifts and transforms behind a dynamic mask of security---and certain pieces of the puzzle simply disappear. How will she gather tangible evidence to prove her innocence among the subtle clues and carefully woven traps? At stake: not only her professional reputation and her future with the firm, not only a commission worth $25 million---but several lives.

In this intricately plotted and unforgettable thriller, attorney and former computer consultant Susan Schaab draws on her expertise in intellectual property and technology law as well as computer systems design to create a fast-paced and thoroughly believable journey through corruption and intrigue, an exhilarating joyride that explores the complex relationships in a big-city law firm, where sexual harassment and manipulation may be more common than any statistics suggest.

Gypsum Corporation Establishes Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust

The US Gypsum Asbestos Trust started accepting claims in February. The trust was constituted under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to handle asbestos related personal injury claims that United States Gypsum Corporation is legally accountable to. Early, Ludwick, Sweeney and Strauss, a New Haven, Connecticut based law firm specializing in mesothelioma lawsuits, is presently filing claims with the US Gypsum Company Trust on behalf of individuals who have been injured due to asbestos exposure.

The United States Gypsum Company (USG) is renowned for its manufacturing of gypsum-based products and ceiling suspension systems that are mostly used in the construction trade. Between 1920 and 1978 some of the products produced by USG contained asbestos. Workers in the construction industry and other trades who worked with or in the surrounding areas of these products were at risk for developing asbestos related diseases like mesothelioma. This exposure risk happened as a result of workers breathing in asbestos fibers that became suspended in the air during the building and construction process. As a result, a significant number of lawsuits were brought against the United States Gypsum Company and USG was forced to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2001 in an effort to thwart escalating litigation expenses. In 2006, the asbestos personal injury settlement trust was established as part of a Joint Plan of Reorganization for coming out of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

For over 20 years, the law firm of Early, Ludwick, Sweeney & Strauss has represented mesothelioma victims and their families. The firm is comprised of a dedicated team of mesothelioma attorneys that have become nationally recognized for not only the results achieved for their clients but for the understanding and compassion consistently shown throughout the litigation process.

The firm is currently licensed to practice in: California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington D.C. In addition, the firm has close working relationships with attorneys throughout the U.S., to assist in the representation of individuals with mesothelioma in other states.

CARE Act Would Protect 500,000 Child Farmworkers

The Child Labor Coalition (CLC) called for members of Congress to improvise the appalling conditions facing child laborers in American agriculture by pledging their support to new legislation. Under the Children's Act for Responsible Employment of 2007 (CARE Act), a new bill introduced today by Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.), protections for young farmworkers would be considerably increased for the first time since the enactment of the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938.

"I commend the Child Labor Coalition for organizing this important advocacy effort on Capitol Hill on behalf of children who work in our nation's agricultural fields," Rep. Roybal-Allard said. "I have introduced the CARE Act today to curb unfair child labor practices in agriculture that allow young children to work in dangerous conditions, and I am grateful for the Coalition's efforts to help pass this needed and long overdue legislation."

Regardless of agriculture's ranking as one of the three most perilous industries in the United States, the law permits children to start working on a farm at a younger age and for longer hours than other working youth. The CARE Act raises protections for child farm workers to the same level as children working in other industries, boosts the maximum civil and criminal penalties for child labor violations, and strengthens pesticide safety provisions in agriculture to account for the higher risks pesticides pose to children and women. The bill preserves the family farm exemption, enabling children of any age to continue to work on their parents' farms.

The briefing also featured Norma Flores, a former child farm worker, and Armand Pereira, Director of the Washington branch of the International Labor Organization. Besides, two CLC members introduced new educational materials on child labor in agriculture: In Our Own Backyard: The Hidden Problem of Child Farm workers in America, an online curriculum from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and Children in the Fields: An American Problem, a report from the Association of Farm worker Opportunity Programs.

This will take effect from Jan.1, 2008 and the cell-phone law in July 2008 and the state of Washington gave a green signal to this measure.
