Standard Insurance Company Disability Claims
Our firm stands by claimants who have valid short-term disability (“STD”) and long-term disability (“LTD”) claims with Standard.
General Claims Process
Many people do not realize that they have a claim for disability benefits through their employer or former employer. If you have not yet applied for benefits, we can help you get started with Standard, even if you no longer work for the employer who provided the disability benefit. Initial applications include the submission of claim forms with medical and vocational details, along with supporting information from your treating doctor. Standard then reviews your claim for eligibility, often requesting more information or even an Independent Medical Examination (“IME”).
Decisions are not immediate and guidelines for prompt decisions are not always followed. If your claim is denied, appeals must usually be submitted within 180 days with enhanced evidence focused on rebutting the reasons for the denial.
Unique Facts and Challenges
Standard denies even strong claims, often citing inapplicable policy terms or alleged lack of proof.
With our experience dealing with Standard, we can help you apply for benefits or appeal a wrongful denial of your claim.
