For those looking for help with their disability insurance claims, choosing an attorney is an important step. However, it can often be difficult to determine whether a particular disability insurance lawyer is the right one for you to work with. Here are some general questions to ask to help you evaluate a potential lawyer or law firm.

1. How many cases does the attorney take on each year?

2. What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to disability insurance claims?

3. Does the attorney exclusively work with individual policy claimants, or does he/she handle ERISA and Social Security cases?

4. Has the attorney published any articles or been interviewed about disability insurance topics?

5. What insurance companies has the attorney dealt with?

6. Does the attorney offer comprehensive representation or short term assistance?

7. Does the attorney’s fee structure work for you?

8. What does the attorney expect to accomplish with your claim?

Selecting the right disability insurance attorney to help with your claim is a decision not to take lightly. You should never be afraid to ask questions, and the attorney will be glad to answer them.
