An ERISA And Private Long-Term Disability Overview

If you purchased disability insurance through an employer-sponsored plan, you probably did so with the thought that if you became disabled and needed long-term care, the financial resources you would need would be there for you and your family. Unfortunately, they may not be, at least not without the help of experienced legal counsel.

At The Law Offices of Steven Gaechter, New Jersey lawyer Steven Gaechter helps people secure the disability benefits they deserve from group benefits providers under ERISA and from private insurance carriers.

Dedicated Legal Assistance Assisting With Successful Claims

Many employers offer employees the option to purchase long-term disability insurance. This coverage helps to provide peace of mind to employees, making them feel secure that income benefits will be provided should the need ever arise.

However, most employer group policies for long-term disability coverage are governed by rules set forth under ERISA. These rules must be followed precisely, whether filing your initial application, providing medical documentation or proceeding with an appeal. When it comes to filing claims governed by ERISA, disabled employees are at a significant disadvantage. Claims that should be accepted are often denied, usually with the hope that the claimant will eventually give up.

Never assume your insurer is on your side. Talk to attorney Steven Gaechter before talking to an insurance company representative or before filing a disability claim.
