What Is ERISA?
The Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law designed to protect employees who purchase their insurance and retirement plans through their employer. The law is comprehensive and includes specific laws that prohibit both employers and insurance companies from taking advantage of policyholders.
If you purchased your long-term disability insurance policy through your employer and were denied the benefits you deserve, you have the right to file a federal lawsuit against those standing in the way of your well-earned long-term disability benefits.
What to Do When Your Minneapolis ERISA Claim Is Denied
It is not unusual for insurance companies to deny claimant’s applications for benefits. The insurance company will, after all, be losing money by paying you benefits. But that is not your problem and it should not be something that you have to worry about. If your claim for benefits is wrongfully denied, there are several steps that you can take to access the benefits that you deserve.
The first is by filing an appeal with your employer’s benefit plan administrator and/or the insurance company. This is usually where the majority of denials are resolved. Generally, by providing the requested documentation and addressing any issues in your claim, you may be able to get the benefit plan administrator to reverse their decision. However, your attorney will be prepared to bring your case to court where your case can be heard before a judge if the insurance company or your employer is unwilling to settle your claim fairly.
