Expert Legal Guidance Going To Battle With A Disability Insurance Company
ERISA, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, regulates how pension plans are funded and how they are paid. Also, ERISA regulates how employers offering health insurance benefits are required to cover those who have lost jobs or those with pre-existing medical conditions.
Those who run into problems with disability claims do not know their legal options or whether they have any legal recourse at all. Our firm handles cases involving both. There are independently obtained private disability policies where claim denials and delays can be contested in state courts and insurance bad faith law can be applied to these denials.
If you have some concerns with your insurance company trying to avoid paying out the benefits that you deserve or if the insurance company is rejecting or denying your claim, call our us right away. Our door is open to you when you have been denied a claim and we can provide a free consultation. You can fill out our contact form or call us at (415) 433-8000.
