Long-Term Disability Claims

When applying for long-term disability through your insurance company, it is important that you consult with a Philadelphia disability attorney at the outset to determine what laws govern your case.  The laws that govern your claim will be based on the type of policy you have and how it was obtained.  Most long-term disability claims are governed bythe Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) or the state laws in which you reside.  It is important in the claims process to be proactive, ensuring that your claim is properly documented with all relvant evidence substantiating your claim for disability benefits. 

If you are seeking long-term disability insurance through your employer, you need to understand ERISA and how it affects your rights. Often, claimants go through the long-term disability administrative process with their insurance provider, are denied or terminated, and have exhausted all administrative remedies available to them. Their only option then is to file a lawsuit in federal court under ERISA. 

Before you exhaust all of your administrative remedies, consult with a Philadelphia disability attorney at our firm to ensure that your claim is properly documented and handled throughout the claims process.  If you are denied at the administrative level, we will file a lawsuit in court if we feel there is merit to your claim.
