Estate Planning

Estate Planning enables clients to design how their assets will be distributed and managed after they pass away. More importantly, it allows for peace of mind during life. The knowledge that rightful heirs will receive what they deserve makes for a better night’s sleep. A poor estate plan will frequently lead to a fight between heirs or beneficiaries down the road. Even if a person believes that heirs will act appropriately with others, grief from a death often makes people act in unpredictable ways. A proper estate plan ensures that a person’s property goes to the right places and people after passing, according to that person’s wishes. An estate plan can also minimize legal costs once a person passes. In this way, the estate plan itself creates a benefit for a person’s heirs by saving money for them through the avoidance of legal costs. Bendel Law aims to make your estate planning journey as easy and smooth as possible. Contact us today!

Insurance Litigation

You Paid for Insurance, Now it's Time for the Insurance Company to Pay

You purchased insurance for your property to protect you in the event of costly damage to your home. Now the worst has happened: pipe burst, hurricane or storm damage, or water overflow event, but the insurance company won't pay. A denial or underpayment can be a gut-punch, especially if you do not have the cash on hand to perform repairs yourself. There is hope. A lawsuit is frequently the only way to challenge the decision of the insurance company. When the insurance company made your coverage decision it had its own adjusters assess whether the damage is covered under the policy. When you file a lawsuit you have the opportunity to have an impartial jury assess your damages more favorably. A jury may find your damages covered under the policy where the insurance adjuster did not. Many people are averse to lawsuits for good reasons. However, a lawsuit is one of the few avenues available to homeowners to find a resolution that sees them paid for the covered damages to their home. If you think that your insurance company won't pay without a lawsuit, call Bendel Law today.

Am I Disabled? Facing the Hardest Question

Joseph Bendel, Esq.

One of the hardest parts of applying for Social Security Disability benefits is asking yourself a simple but life-altering question: Am I disabled?

For many, the word “disabled” feels too final, too heavy. It can feel like giving up or labeling yourself as less than whole. That hesitation is common. We’re often taught to push through pain, keep working, and avoid seeming “weak.” 

But living with a chronic condition, physical or mental, isn’t a failure. It’s a reality. And recognizing that reality is often the first step toward getting the help you need.

 

Disability doesn’t always look the way people imagine. You don’t need to be in a wheelchair or hospitalized to qualify. You may be in pain every day. You may struggle to concentrate or get out of bed. Maybe you’ve been let go from jobs you could once handle, or you’ve stopped working entirely, unsure if you’ll ever return.

Deciding to apply for disability isn’t easy. It can feel like a loss of identity, pride, or purpose. But it can also be a path to stability, treatment, and regaining control over your life. If you’re asking yourself whether you’re disabled, it may be time to speak to someone who understands the system and the struggles. You don’t have to make this decision alone.

Bendel Law assists individuals with applying for and appealing Social Security Disability benefits. If you think you may be disabled, reach out for help.
