HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR DISABILITY CLAIM? REACH OUT TODAY

ERISA DISABILITY APPEALS ATTORNEY
IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

If your disability insurance policy was provided by a private employer, your policy and any claim filed thereunder is likely governed by a federal law called ERISA. 

If you have found yourself in the unfortunate position of having to apply for disability benefits under your ERISA governed policy, you might encounter a complicated and frustrating process when trying to obtain benefits. Not surprisingly, disability insurance claims are often denied for a variety of reasons, not all of which are valid or reasonable. So, what should you do when your insurance company denies your claim for short term or long-term disability benefits? 

The Employee Retirement Income and Security Act (“ERISA”) was originally enacted to protect employees covered under employee welfare benefit plans. This includes employees that file for disability insurance benefits under their employer sponsored insurance policies. ERISA also requires the plan administrator to provide a uniform process for appealing the denial of claims.

This means that insurance companies who provide disability insurance through private employers must adhere to the rules and procedures set forth by ERISA in administering insurance plans.
