Autoimmune Disorders

When the human body turns on itself, for whatever reason, it is referred to as an autoimmune disorder. There are dozens of autoimmune disorders and common examples include arthritis, diabetes, lupus, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Autoimmune disorders, also referred to as autoimmune diseases, result in the body’s cells attacking themselves in stead of producing a proper antibody. 

These illnesses within the immune system often lead to a decreased immune system response which then leads to the potential for infections, diseases, etc. Those who are faced with a life of dealing with any autoimmune disorder may be eligible for benefits, medical care and financial compensation as many autoimmune disorders are initially misdiagnosed, caused by a harmful medication, drug or pharmaceutical or the medication prescribed results in an entirely new illness such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, etc. 

The benefits and compensation you are entitled to are directly related to what caused your immune system disorder, the severity of it and when it was diagnosed. Common benefits can be lost wage compensation, medical care, physical pain and psychological suffering compensation. In the event a loved one passed away due to the illness death, funeral and survival benefits may be available to their estate. If a work injury led to, or work activity, led to an autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, workers’ compensation benefits may be an option.
