North Carolina Employment Law Services – Representing Employees Statewide

At Gibbons Law Group, we represent employees—not corporations—across every corner of North Carolina.

Disability Law (LTD)

When you purchased your LTD policy, you probably thought you were all set. If you ever became disabled and could no longer work, your policy would kick in so that you could support yourself and your family. However, disability insurance claims rarely go that smoothly.

If you are ready to file an LTD claim, have already been denied, or are considering whether to take a lump-sum settlement, now is the time to contact the disability team at Gibbons Law Group. We have helped hundreds of disabled workers get the benefits they deserved, and we can help you, too.
