Get Started:
Disability insurance allows people who are injured to have an income while they recover back to health. It allows people to support themselves while they are unable to work. This type of insurance is available for both the short term and long term. Though most employers purchase disability insurance as part of a group policy for their employees, some workers have to purchase it privately if they work for a small company or are self-employed.
Additionally, employers may offer term life insurance for their employees to take advantage of, which provides a financial benefit to their loved ones in the event of death.
In addition to medical, dental and life insurance, The Standard offers disability insurance to employers and individuals intended to cover them in the event they are unable to work due to illness or injury.
Standard Insurance Company offers a variety of disability plans for purchase by employers and individuals, including long term disability, short term disability, individual income protection, individual insurance at work and business protection.
Disability insurance at The Standard is designed to provide coverage for customers in the event of unexpected circumstances. The company also offers additional coverage for customers who are already covered by their employers.
According to The Standard:
While The Standard does have the right to deny a disability claim, the company is unable to do so without merit. Claims denials are considered bad faith practice when the company denies a claim that it is bound to cover due to the terms of the contract with the customer.
Further, it's considered "bad faith" when an insurance company neglects to undergo a thorough investigation of a claim before denying it. It's also considered "bad faith" when an insurance company purposely delays paying a customer or claims they did not receive the appropriate paperwork, even though the client submitted it.
If you were denied a disability claim that you feel should have been granted under your contract agreement, contact a bad faith attorney for help. You may be able to file a lawsuit against The Standard. To find out if you qualify, contact us today.
