More About ERISA and Disability Law

Under ERISA, you have the right to appeal a denial of long term disability benefits. Generally, you have 180 days to file an appeal to the insurance company. The insurance company is under a strict deadline to make a decision on the appeal. You should hire an attorney who knows these deadlines and can ensure they are met.

Under ERISA, the appeal may be your last chance to submit medical information supporting disability benefits. Our lawyers work with you to take advantage of this opportunity and get your appeal approved.

My Disability Insurance Appeal is Denied. Now What?

Following an appeal denial, you generally have the option to bring a lawsuit in federal court. Our disability lawyers are able to file a lawsuit on your behalf.

Favorable Law in Maine

Most disability policies give the insurance policy discretion. This means a judge must rule in favor of the insurance company unless it was unreasonable in denying benefits. Merely proving you are disabled is not enough. This is a difficult standard to meet.

Fortunately, Maine has passed a law that states an insurance company cannot enforce a provision giving the insurance company absolute discretion and that is inconsistent with the laws of Maine.

In 2016 an insurance company challenged this ban and lost.

Maine’s ban of discretionary clauses benefit people with claims for disability insurance benefits. Our lawyers can help you understand your right under your long-term disability policy and the laws that apply.
