What this typically includes
Reviewing the policy or plan and the denial, gathering medical and vocational evidence, preparing and filing the administrative appeal (critical in ERISA cases), and litigating in court if the appeal fails. Costs to obtain records or expert opinions may be billed separately.
Long-term disability claims fall into two tracks, and which one applies matters more than your state: most employer-provided LTD plans are governed by federal ERISA (limited remedies, no jury, deferential review), while individual policies fall under Florida’s insurance law — where bad-faith damages may be available and some states ban the “discretionary clauses” that tilt LTD cases toward the insurer.
LTD attorneys almost always work on contingency — a percentage of the back benefits or settlement they recover, so you pay nothing up front. Whether your claim is ERISA or governed by Florida law shapes the deadlines, the evidence, and what you can win, so getting advice early — before the administrative-appeal deadline — is critical.
