As a dentist, your ability to practice relies heavily on your physical dexterity, mental focus, and stamina. An injury or illness that impairs these abilities can threaten your livelihood, financial stability, and professional identity. At Raval Trial Law, we understand the unique challenges dentists face when filing for disability insurance claims — and we’re here to protect your rights every step of the way.
We specialize in representing dentists and medical professionals in filing, appealing, and litigating disability insurance claims. Dentists often purchase specialized “own-occupation” disability insurance policies, designed to provide benefits if they are unable to perform the duties of their specific profession.
However, when it’s time to file a claim, insurance companies frequently push back — questioning whether you are truly “disabled,” demanding endless documentation, or even suggesting you can work in a different capacity.
Whether you are dealing with a private policy, an employer-provided plan, or a group policy through the Texas Medical Association Insurance Trust, our team is here to ensure you get the benefits you rightfully deserve.
Because your career requires such specific and specialized skills, even minor impairments can justify a disability claim — but proving that to the insurance company can be an uphill battle without experienced legal support.
Hand, wrist, or back injuries
Degenerative diseases like arthritis

At Raval Trial Law, we fight for dentists who deserve the full benefits they have paid for. We assist with:
Filing Initial Claims: Ensuring your claim is complete, strategically presented, and supported with strong medical and vocational evidence.
Appealing Denials: If your claim has been unfairly delayed or denied, we step in to challenge the insurance company and protect your rights.
Litigation: If necessary, we take insurers to court to pursue the benefits you are owed under your policy.
Bad Faith Claims: If your insurer has acted unfairly or dishonestly, we can pursue additional compensation for bad faith practices.
We know the tactics insurance companies use to undervalue or deny legitimate claims — and we know how to beat them.
Specialized Experience: We have extensive experience handling disability claims for healthcare professionals, including dentists.
Aggressive Advocacy: We don’t back down when insurance companies push back. We are trial-ready from day one.
Personalized Approach: Every case is different. We tailor our strategy to your specific medical condition, policy language, and professional needs.
Flexible Fee Arrangements: We work with you to find the best possible fee arrangement, ensuring that we are on the same side from start to finish.
Your career, financial security, and future are too important to leave in the hands of an insurance company. Let Raval Trial Law fight for you.
