Experienced Pennsylvania ERISA Disability Claim Litigation Attorneys

Once the administrative appeals process has been exhausted with your insurer, you will be able to move forward with a lawsuit. If your long-term disability insurance was purchased through an employer, your case will be governed by a complex set of federal laws and regulations known as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Our attorneys understand the implications and impact of ERISA on your claim and can help you navigate the administrative appeals process as well as the federal court system.

Handling State Insurance Cases

If your long-term disability insurance coverage is not governed by ERISA, your claim will be governed by state law. We can help you bring a breach of contract action against your insurer. Our attorneys will work to prove that your insurer materially breached the contract (the insurance policy) by failing to recognize your disability in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

It is important to seek representation as soon as possible. Your policy may limit the time frame in which you can appeal a denial or benefits. Most plans or policies only provide for a 90 to 180-day window to file an appeal.

Your policy may also limit the time frame in which you can file.
