Riemer Hess has handled the long term disability needs of a broad spectrum of lawyers ranging in practice areas and level of experience (e.g., partners and associates from AM 100 law firms; in-house counsels from major financial institutions).
Examples of common disability issues that our firm has handled for our clients include: musculoskeletal injuries to the cervical/lumbar spine and lower extremities precluding the ability to sit for prolonged periods and/or travel; injuries to the upper extremities limiting the use of the computer on a frequent basis; speech deficits limiting the ability to communicate with others effectively; cognitive deficits, fatigue, and systemic pain due to autoimmune diseases limiting the ability to maintain attention/concentration, process information efficiently, or work an 8-hour workday; mental illnesses that limit the ability to interact with others.
