Details

Kevin P. Schaefer is an employee benefits attorney at the Dabdoub Law Firm in Coral Gables, Florida. He serves clients nationwide, assisting them with ERISA law and other disability insurance matters such as submitting claims and appeals, filing lawsuits and negotiating settlements.

Mr. Schaefer's exceptional academic achievements led him to graduate with magna cum laude honors from the University of Miami School of Law. He began his career as a law clerk with Dabdoub Law Firm and then joined the team of disability insurance attorneys upon graduation from law school. He has dedicted his legal career to helping people fight for disability insurance benefits from their insurance company. 

Throughout his entire legal career, Mr. Schaefer has handled disability claims and pursued lawsuits against nearly every disability insurance company in the United States. Highly renowned among his peers and colleagues, he also holds a “Good” rating on Avvo, in addition to numerous five-star reviews from grateful clients. 

No opponent is too formidable for Mr. Schaefer to take on, as demonstrated by his battle against the NFL Player Disability & Neurocognitive Benefit Plan. When the plan denied disability benefits to his client, a former pro football player, he tenaciously pursued the case in federal court and emerged victorious. His proficiency in disability law has not only resulted in successful benefit approvals and the prevention of lawsuits for many of his clients but has also contributed to the development of new legislation that aids thousands of disabled claimants nationwide.

Navigating the complexities of disability benefits can be a challenging and frustrating process. However, Mr. Schaefer has extensive experience encompassing litigation of disability benefits lawsuits in both federal and state courts, covering a broad range of medical conditions, such as chronic back pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, cognitive impairments and stroke. Given that federal law applies to the majority of disability insurance claims, he can effectively represent clients across the country.

Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)

  • In 2018, Kevin Schaefer and the team at Dabdoub Law Firm had the honor of winning a case for NFL star Darryl Ashmore, who sought disability benefits through the Player Disability & Neurocognitive Benefit Plan managed by the NFL. Across 11 seasons of play, Mr. Ashmore suffered a variety of injuries that caused migraines, chronic pain, and more health complications. To try to discourage him from seeking benefits, the Plan told him that he must attend numerous medical evaluations in multiple states in just a few weeks’ time, despite travel being detrimental health due to his conditions. After he understandably did not attend all the medical evaluations, the NFL outright denied his disability benefits, which is when Dabdoub Law Firm filed suit to recover his disability benefits. We fought a formidable opponent like the NFL in court and won., 2018
