Long-term disability policies and the law of ERISA strongly favor insurance companies. These laws were not written for consumers, and it is easy to make a mistake in appealing a long-term disability denial. You get only one try at an appeal. For this reason, we strongly recommend you consult with our ERISA-trained long-term disability attorney early in the process.

If you have already appealed a denial and it was still rejected, we can review your appeal to see if we can be of assistance. However, we do not recommend you wait to contact us or that you attempt to appeal your denial without our ERISA-trained attorney. If your appeal was insufficient, contact us immediately because ERISA laws generally prohibit submitting additional evidence later on.
