This Complex Area of Law Requires Skilled Legal Counsel

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) governs your employer's group plan. In Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. v. Bruch, the Supreme Court of the United States interpreted this law using trust law principles, giving the insurance companies broad powers to investigate and deny your claim as if they were a court of law. This means that under ERISA, there is no legal process outside of the insurer. A federal court can review your denied claim, but only on the law, not on the facts.

Attorneys at the firm have the knowledge and experience to help you pursue benefits under your employer's group plan. They will handle every aspect of your claim, including:

• Helping you understand and enforce your rights under the insurance policy
• Coordinating and compiling comprehensive medical records demonstrating your need
• Negotiating for a settlement that accounts for all aspects of your disability, including past, present and future costs
• Working with medical experts, physicians and vocational counselors to assess your situation
