My wife and I thought we were heading into a complicated legal odyssey with a destroyed commercial property until we hired Bill Kendall. His sustained focus and hard work was so effective that we had a great settlement within hours of the first deposition.

Multi-Family Property Claim (Dallas, TX)
Our large hotel was severely damaged by hail. After significant delays by the insurance company, our claim was denied. We hired Bill Kendall and Grisham & Kendall soon after. Through Bill’s efforts during our lawsuit, we were able to reach a favorable settlement close to trial. We would certainly recommend Grisham & Kendall, PLLC to any property owner whose insurance company isn’t treating them fairly.

When To Hire a Long Term Disability Insurance Attorney

As the United States population as a whole grows older, and more of the approximate 70 million baby boomers enter retirement, the issue of long-term care coverage is increasingly becoming an important matter for many people. Long-term care generally refers to hands-on assistance provided for an extended period of time to people who can’t take care of themselves due to a prolonged disability, illness, cognitive impairment such as Alzheimer’s disease, or some other debilitating condition.

A person generally qualifies for long-term care when a physician or other health professional certifies that you are unable to independently perform at least two ADLs (activities of daily living), such as bathing, dressing, eating, transferring to or from a bed or chair and continence. Long-term care insurance usually provides for the cost of a nursing home, an assisted living center, or home health care.

Reasons Given by Insurers to Delay or Deny Long Term Care Benefits

When a long-term care insurance provider denies coverage, there are many reasons they may use to do so, depending on your policy, including:

  • Ineligible care provider (e.g., policy requires that facility have a specific license and specific personnel and care)
  • No prior hospitalization (typically, older policies have wording requiring policyholders to have had hospitalization confinement, a nursing home stay, or both before claims are paid)
  • No benefits for personal care
  • Failure to pay claims due to cognitive impairment
  • Absence of required ADLs (activities of daily living)

When vulnerable populations who both need and have paid for these services are denied access to them, it cannot be allowed to stand. If you or a loved one was denied long term disability, contact the long term disability denial attorneys at Grisham & Kendall today for a free consultation.

Texas Long Term Disability Insurance FAQ

Long-term care insurance policies typically cover all or part of assisted living facilities and in-home care for people 65 or older or those with a chronic condition that requires constant care. Long term care insurance is private insurance available to anyone willing to pay for it.

Insurance companies recommend purchasing long term care insurance at age 40. However, Consumer Reports suggests that you wait until age 60. Waiting too long to purchase a policy can result in extremely high premiums.

There are certain health conditions which may result in you being declined long term care coverage. A few of these reasons are if you are currently needing help with any of the 6 activities of daily living (ADL), use a walker, or have Alzheimer’s, certain forms of cancers, or Parkinson’s Disease.

A long term care insurance policy typically would provide coverage in case you become unable to care for yourself and need assistance to manage your daily living activities. This typically means paying for an assisted living facility or in-home care. 

Long-term-care insurance policies typically require two types of benefit triggers before they’ll pay; either you need help with two out of six activities of daily living (these generally include bathing, dressing, toileting, eating, transferring and continence) or you have severe cognitive impairment.

If your long term care insurance provider has denied your claim or not paid out according to the terms of your policy, the long term care insurance attorneys at Grisham & Kendall may be able to help. Oftentimes, just having legal counsel on your side is enough to get the insurance company to want to settle your claim and avoid litigation. As experts in insurance disputes, we will make sure you get fair compensation based on the terms of your policy.
