Helping You With A Delayed Or Denied Long-Term Disability Claim

Individuals in Florida who have long-term disability insurance coverage – whether through an employer or a private entity – hope they will never need it. But it is undoubtedly peace of mind, particularly in today’s uncertain times.

Unfortunately, if you find yourself facing a long-term serious medical illness or injury, you may encounter hurdles when filing your claim. Many claims often get initially denied. Fortunately, under the law, you have a right to fight back and appeal.

Claims Governed By ERISA

For employer-sponsored long-term disability policies that you pay into as an employee, the law is governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, also known as ERISA. The rules, procedures and time frames are very strict.

If you have been denied a claim under your employer’s policy, getting an attorney with knowledge of ERISA and experience helping individuals in similar circumstances is vital to ensuring your rights are protected.

A Thorough Understanding Of The Law

At Gallup Auerbach, our lawyers have extensive experience helping those throughout South Florida with denied long-term disability insurance claims.

We Know How Insurance Companies Operate

Insurance companies are not in the business of paying out claims. They have well-trained adjusters, investigators and legal representatives who scrutinize every aspect of a claim. If they have skilled advocacy on their side, you should too.
