Pennsylvania Long-Term Disability Attorneys

There is no way to foresee the future, and in planning the coming weeks, months, and years of your life it is doubtful that you budgeted for a future in which you were unable to work in your chosen field, or worse, a future in which you could not work at all. But this nightmare is a reality for millions of American workers, and it affects thousands right here in Pennsylvania.

The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., are aware that no amount of money can substitute for your health and wellness, but coping with the impact of a permanent disability can be tremendously difficult, and without receiving full benefits it can seem impossible.

If you have been rendered permanently disabled by an accident or illness connected to your job, contact the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.

Long-Term Disability Coverage

Workers’ compensation is not designed to accommodate a permanently disabling injury, and it only applies to a condition directly caused by one’s work. In those situations, however, you may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits for a period of time, and because it is so important that you have the resources you need to live with your injury, we are dedicated to helping you to receive the maximum benefit possible.

Another potential source of benefits is the Social Security Administration’s disability program, which is administered by the United States government and offers benefit payments based on the lifetime salary and wage data they have accumulated for you, as well as the nature and degree of your injury. Because this is a government-run entity, there exists an array of paperwork, deadlines, and conditions that you will have to satisfy in order to qualify for and continue to receive these benefit payments, so it is highly advisable that you seek a qualified attorney for advice and counsel in the process.

The third major option is one that will only be available to you if you made a conscious decision to plan for the possibility that you may suffer a catastrophic injury, and that is long-term disability insurance. Many employers offer the option to elect long-term disability insurance coverage as part of an employee’s benefit plan, but relatively few employees actually take advantage of this. Unfortunately, even if you do have coverage, it may be a struggle to ensure that you receive the benefits to which you are entitled, and that’s where the Pennsylvania workers’ compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., come in.
