It’s no secret that essential employees such as the physicians and other medical professionals we represent at Seltzer & Associates face a disproportionate risk of contracting COVID-19 during the pandemic just by performing their principal job duties.
As the economy reopens, many lawyers, professionals, and executives will stop working from home and head back into the office. In light of the fact that, to date, there is no cure for COVID-19, there is a very real possibility of becoming sick from the virus, which raises questions about disability insurance coverage.
Seltzer & Associates is accepting coronavirus-related disability claims. Contact a Philadelphia disability insurance attorney at our firm for a free consultation if you are unable to return to work or find yourself struggling with your job duties as the result of the coronavirus.
