Short-term/Long-term Disability (STD/LTD) Claims

Karoly Law represents individuals whose disability benefits have been delayed, reduced, or denied. We assist with STD and LTD applications, appeals, medical-legal evidence gathering, and negotiations with insurers to ensure clients receive the income support they are entitled to during periods of illness or injury.

We address common insurer arguments—insufficient medical evidence, pre-existing conditions, return-to-work disputes, surveillance, and “not disabled from own occupation” findings—and develop strong rebuttals grounded in functional limitations, treatment history, and policy interpretation. We also assist clients who were terminated while on medical leave or pressured to return before they were clinically ready.

We offer limited-scope retainers for focused support, such as reviewing medical records, preparing appeal letters, or providing advice on policy terms. We also provide independent legal advice (ILA) on settlement offers, benefit terminations, and interactions with employers during disability leave.

Our objective is to streamline the process, reduce stress, and secure timely and fair disability benefits for our clients.
