Protest Injury & Disability Lawyer

The state of the nation has brought a lot of volatility and citizens feel compelled to speak up for their beliefs and human rights. Unfortunately, environments where protests have taken place have been unsafe; many victims have suffered from :

  • injury due to police brutality/excessive force
  • injury and assault from protestors / counter-protestors
  • injury due to private property negligence
  • injury due to City property negligence

It is important to remember that while many have been physically assaulted, there is also an aspect of psychological warfare and distress that can be present during law enforcement, protestor or counter-protestor interactions. Emotional and psychological injuries, resulting in such things as PTSD, are another form of injury that can also arise as a result of being involved in a protest.

Denied Disability: Protest Injury

If you have suffered from an injury during or as a result of a protest, resulting in short-term or long-term disability, you are entitled to benefits to provide you medical and financial support during your healing and coping time. Receiving a denied disability claim, after filing a disability insurance claim, can be a daunting thing.

We must stress, do not fret; if you are suffering from a legitimate injury that has resulted in short term disability, or long term disability (LTD), you ARE entitled to benefits and the insurance company most likely has wrongfully denied your claim.

Insurance companies often deny disability claims because it is not in their interest to lose money (ex. covering your medical expenses, living costs, etc.). Insurance companies often tactfully deny claims in hopes that you will be discouraged from further pursuing your benefits. No, this is not right and they can be held accountable; TSF Law knows how to navigate denied disability claims and personal injury claims with a thorough understanding of insurance and disability law.

TSF Law not only will get you the benefits you deserve as a result of an injury relating to protests, but we will also seek any damages related to your denied claim and benefits. No one should suffer from a lack of support, especially during these volatile times; TSF Law is always there for you.
