About Tatiana Kadetskaya

Tatiana Kadetskaya is the founder of Kadetskaya Law Firm, LLC, a boutique insurance law firm dedicated exclusively to representing life insurance beneficiaries and policyowners whose claims have been wrongfully denied or delayed.

 Since 2012, Ms. Kadetskaya has represented hundreds of clients in complex life insurance disputes against some of the largest insurance companies in the country — including MetLife, Prudential, Unum, Guardian, Genworth, Transamerica, and many others. Her practice covers the full range of life insurance law: denied and delayed claims, ERISA appeals, beneficiary disputes, interpleader actions, lapsed policy denials, accidental death and dismemberment claims, and insurance bad faith litigation.

 Her clients come to her at one of the most difficult moments in their lives — grieving the loss of a loved one while simultaneously fighting an insurance company that refuses to pay. Ms. Kadetskaya takes that responsibility seriously. She is known for responding quickly, communicating clearly, and fighting aggressively to recover the benefits her clients are owed.

 Practice Focus

Ms. Kadetskaya's practice is devoted entirely to life insurance law. She does not handle personal injury, criminal defense, or general civil litigation. Every case she takes involves a life insurance dispute — which means her knowledge of insurer tactics, policy language, and applicable law is deep and current.

Her practice areas include:

- Denied life insurance claims

- Delayed life insurance claims

- ERISA life insurance appeals

- Beneficiary disputes and interpleader actions

- Policy lapse denials

- Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) claim denials

- Accelerated death benefit denials

- SGLI, FEGLI, and VGLI federal benefit claims

- Portable and convertible coverage denials

- Insurance bad faith litigation

 Ms. Kadetskaya has recovered millions of dollars for her clients. Recent recoveries include:

- $1.1 million settlement in an interpleader action involving Minnesota Life Insurance Company and three competing claimants

- $1 million recovered for four beneficiaries whose claims were denied due to an alleged policy lapse

- $840,000 recovered from an employer for failure to send a conversion notice to a terminated employee

- Recovery from Prudential for a denied accidental death claim involving a narcotic exclusion where the insured died in a motorcycle accident

- Recovery from Unum for a denied claim based on alleged material misrepresentation on a portability application

- Recovery from MetLife for a delayed claim involving alleged misrepresentations on the application

  ***Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
