While working for a law firm back in 1999 representing clients in social security disability appeals and disability discrimination claims, I noticed that many people could not find an attorney to represent them in long-term disability appeals under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). This means filing an appeal within 180 days to the insurance company and then if denied, filing a lawsuit in federal court. Because there is no jury trial right or compensatory damages available, I believe that the insurance companies view their profit making strategies as a numbers game to deny claims. I take pride in fighting them at each and every step to get the long-term disability and life insurance benefits that people deserve and are legally bound by contractual right.
