Disability Insurance

Employee Benefits Attorney in Seattle, Washington

Experienced Counsel in Disability Insurance Claims

If you have been wrongfully denied disability insurance benefits under an employer-sponsored plan, you need an experienced lawyer to protect your rights and help you get the compensation you need and deserve. The laws governing disability coverage under employer benefits plans can be complex and confusing. You need an attorney who understands the law, who will walk you through the appeals process, and who will provide you with an honest assessment of your likelihood of success.

At the Law Office of James D. Oswald, I represent individuals across the state of Washington who have been denied disability insurance payments under an employer-sponsored benefits plan. I have a comprehensive understanding of ERISA (the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974), the federal law that governs most employee benefits. Contact my offices for a free, one-hour initial consultation.

If you are unable to perform your job because of a disability and your employer has a disability insurance plan, you may file a claim for either short-term disability or long-term disability benefits. Employers and their insurance companies will often look for ways to deny your claim.

Regardless of the cause of your disability, I will develop a strong legal argument to support your claim. I have an extensive knowledge of the law and will take the necessary steps to build a case for your recovery of disability insurance benefits.

  • I will work closely with your doctor and any specialists to prepare an exhaustive analysis of your condition and its disabling effects.
  • I will obtain and submit results from objective testing, including physical capacity evaluations and cognitive testing.
  • I will gather testimony from supervisors and co-workers regarding your inability to do your job.
  • I will get statements from family and friends regarding the impact of your condition on your daily life.
  • I will gather medical articles and evidence about your condition and its effect on your ability to work.

Because I am a sole practitioner, you can be confident that you will receive personal attention, and the benefit of my experience and knowledge. Contact me for a free, one-hour consultation. My offices are open from 9 am until 5 pm, Monday through Friday. If you are unable to travel to my offices, I can arrange to visit you at a location of your convenience.
