ERISA and Denied Employee Benefits Claims

While the goal of ERISA is to protect the legal rights of employees and their beneficiaries,  many of them still have difficulties recovering the benefits they are entitled to. ERISA is a complex law and it is best to consult with an experienced employee benefits attorney who can file an appeal if your claim was denied. 

When a life insurance lawyer prepares an ERISA appeal, they draft a legal brief based on ERISA law and the results of an independent investigation and research. This forces the insurance company to examine the case from a new perspective. Beneficiaries who win ERISA appeals at an administrative level save time and money that would otherwise be spent on litigation. At our ERISA law firm, we urge everyone whose benefit claim was denied to hire an ERISA counsel before filing an appeal to increase their chances of winning.

In most ERISA cases, an administrative appeal is a necessary step before the claim proceeds to court. If you decide to sue your insurance company without first exhausting administrative remedies, your court action may be barred. Therefore, you need to consult an experienced ERISA attorney who will file an appeal on your behalf. Our life insurance lawyers can help you recover your wrongfully denied claim fast, regardless of the reason invoked by the insurer.
