Our California ERISA Lawyers Are Here to Help!
Most of the life, health and disability policies issued through employers in the United States are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), a federal statute that protects employee benefits by imposing minimum standards on employers/ERISA administrators.
However, because ERISA involves a complex area of law, employers and insurance companies often take advantage of the employees to improperly deny claims. If your claim is denied, you can seek the help of experienced pension and ERISA attorneys to appeal the decision and sue for policy benefits, attorneys’ fees and interest due on the unpaid ERISA benefits. If your ERISA claim was denied, you should consider consulting with an insurance litigation attorney and appealing the decision immediately. ERISA involves mandatory administrative appeals and strict deadlines, so it is imperative that you know your rights and swiftly hire an ERISA law firm. If you do not follow the proper appeal procedures, you could lose your right to sue your employer and/or the insurance company that administers the claim. Furthermore, an ERISA appeal is your last chance to submit supporting documentation and create a strong case for litigation. The attorneys at McKennon Law Group PC in California, have decades of experience handling ERISA cases. We can litigate your ERISA claim or help prepare your appeal and ensure that all relevant medical and vocational information is provided to the insurance company.
