ERISA and Long-Term Disability Claims

Most employees who receive long-term disability insurance from their employer are covered under ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act). When you cannot work because of a disability, your claim will first go to your employer's insurance company to determine the extent of your disability. If the insurance company denies your claim, you usually have 180 days to file an appeal with the insurance company. If you lose your appeal, the next step is to file an ERISA lawsuit against the insurance company. The success of your lawsuit usually depends upon the thoroughness of your appeal. It is vital to the success of your case to hire an experienced disability claims lawyer to assist you with the appeal process.
