ERISA

Most long term disability claims that are filed under a group policy obtained by your employer are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"). If ERISA applies to your claim, a wide range of legal rights can be pursued in order to maximize your chances of success. However, a disabled claimant must be prepared for many hidden dangers in the ERISA.

ERISA appeals can be complex. Specific materials must be compiled and submitted in order to maximize the chances of success on a long-term disability insurance claim. If an ERISA appeal is not successful and a lawsuit is required, a federal court may not be able to review any materials other than the insurance company's file and the contents of your ERISA appeal. Therefore, it is important that all of the proper materials are submitted at the appeals stage of your claim in order to not risk the future success of a potential lawsuit.
