ERISA Claims in New York
The Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal statute that governs the administration of employee benefits plans. ERISA laws outline the rights and responsibilities of employers, plan participants, and insurance providers under any health, disability or pension plan provided through the workplace.
Unfortunately, many employee disability insurance funds will wrongfully deny benefits to entitled individuals, giving rise to a claim.
Under the guidelines established by ERISA, filing a claim for the benefits you are entitled to can be a complex process. This requires potential claimants to begin preparing their case as soon as their claim has been denied, well before they ever think about stepping foot into a courtroom.
The Expertise of Experienced ERISA Attorneys
Designing a successful approach to appealing a denial requires that you follow specific steps and understand complicated issues involving the medical characteristics of your disability and the occupational characteristics of your employment—requiring that you seek the help of an attorney as soon as possible before damaging your claim.
Our Staten Island practice is respected by the bench and bar of New York, and our attorneys are trusted by colleagues to protect their clients’ interests against large insurance providers like Hartford, MetLife, Prudential, and Unum.
If you have been denied a disability benefit claim, contact our Staten Island firm for ERISA claims representation as soon as possible.
