There are many reasons to hire an experienced Illinois disability insurance attorney in the Chicago area. For starters, disability claims are often denied on the first attempt. This is certainly frustrating, although an attorney may be able to help. Below, we present additional reasons to work with an Illinois disability insurance attorney.
Preparation, Speed, and Accuracy
A lawyer specializing in disability claims knows how to prepare such claims with speed and accuracy. They also know what to look for and what to focus on when preparing for a hearing. Preparation may involve:
• New documents
• New examinations
• Testimony from medical experts
An attorney can also look at the evidence that was initially presented. This is important when it comes to knowing what’s missing or what needs to be included to build a strong case.
Responding to Opposing Evidence or Experts
In some instances, the opposing party, the Social Security Administration, may present new evidence on their part, call in experts to build their case, or back up their reasons for denial. An experienced attorney can respond to this evidence and cross-examine the experts to determine if there are inaccuracies or other issues that need to be brought forward.
Discussing the Appeal Process and Answering Client Questions
Lastly, an experienced attorney answers client questions and discusses the specifics of the appeals process. This information helps clients be better prepared for a hearing and everything involved with appealing a denied client.
