Disabling Conditions

Contact a Bay Area Lawyer if You Suffer From a Disabling Condition

Some disabilities are visible, apparent and obvious. An amputation, the loss of an eye or a crippling condition such as multiple sclerosis leaves no room for dispute that a person is disabled. Other disabilities, while hidden from view of the casual observer, nonetheless overpower a person's ability to work "normally."

Both types of disabilities usually mean that a victim will need financial and logistical assistance. Family members generally do their best to take care of each other. At the same time, society has recognized the need for a broader safety net. An important part of the safety net that many of us rely on is disability insurance.

Acute pain after an accident may go away, but neuropathic pain is often ongoing for months or years afterward.

Whether purchased privately or provided by an employer, disability insurance is intended to give peace of mind to healthy workers, and real relief to the disabled. Contact the Law Offices of Laurence F. Padway, a Northern California law firm dedicated to helping and advocating on behalf of people who live with disabling conditions including the following:
