Massachusetts Lawyer for ERISA Disability Claims

"If you wait until benefits are denied or terminated, more often than not it is too late." — Attorney Terrence A. Low on the importance of having a strategy for your ERISA group plan disability claim

Many attorneys avoid dealing with cases involving ERISA. In fact, a number of them rely on Terry Low for his knowledge in this notoriously challenging area of law. Claimants are at a clear disadvantage in ERISA cases, and yet the quest to change this situation requires a continuing fight — and individuals suffering disabilities still need representation.

From getting to know clients in his Springfield office to supporting them through hearings in court, Terry practices what he believes in and writes about in helpful articles on this subject. His experience enables him to offer sound strategies for:

• Effectively filing your long-term or short-term disability claim
• Knowing and meeting important deadlines for ERISA claims
• Documenting your illness or disability in ways that strengthen your claim
• Developing your Social Security file to help support the validity of your claim and your right to benefits
• Developing productive, cooperative relationships with your medical professionals
• Maintaining — or regaining — control over those who have access to your medical records
• Counteracting the efforts of independent medical examiners or other "expert" investigators to undermine or invalidate your claim
• Negotiating a lump-sum settlement or buyout to protect you against future attempts to deny or discontinue benefits

It is important to recognize that success in your group plan disability claim often requires you to file claims for Social Security Disability Insurance. It may involve workers' compensation insurance as well. Attorney Terry Low can counsel and represent you in all these areas, as well as in any third party liability cases or wage and hour claims.

Once Terry Low has the information to know if you have a case, he will handle it personally, putting experience and determination on your side. That means one-to-one communication, discretion and confidentiality. Contact Terry Low for a free evaluation of your disability insurance claim or dispute.
