FIND OUT HOW TO FILE A CLAIM
The process of submitting claims for disability benefits can be particularly arduous. Insurance providers often take long to provide their decision or engage in lengthy back and forth to request for additional medical documents.
Monkhouse Law steps in and takes this process out of the hands of our clients. We assist in the application process by submitting the applications, following up with the insurance provider, supplementing the medical documents, and contacting medical professionals. As the client will no longer be burdened by these steps, he or she can instead focus on their recovery.
