Coronavirus & Disability Insurance: Trends to Follow

In his November Illinois Bar Journal article, “Coronavirus & Disability Insurance: Trends to Follow,” David A. Bryant notes that 2020 and 2021 have been defined, in great part, by the COVID-19 pandemic. While vaccination efforts are providing a glimmer of hope, the novel coronavirus will affect our lives—and disability insurance claims—for the foreseeable future.

At the same time, pandemic-related shutdowns increased many people’s need for mental health care and redefined the workplace.

In his article, Bryant explores these trends using his decades of experience handling complex, long-term disability claims.
