San Francisco ERISA Disability Lawyers

If you receive insurance through your employer, any employee benefits claim is governed by ERISA. The attorneys of Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP help disabled employees get the disability insurance benefits they are entitled to receive.

To learn more about ERISA and your rights to receive insurance benefits, please review the following pages:

  • What is ERISA? The Employee Retirement Income Security Act applies to most insurance obtained as an employee benefit from one's employer.
  • ERISA Traps ERISA is a very complicated statute and there are many technicalities that can prevent a policyholder from ever having a chance to correct an erroneous decision.
  • ERISA Restrictions ERISA nullifies many state laws that are designed to keep insurance companies from acting improperly.
  • What You Can Do There are things you can and should do now to help ensure the success of your ERISA claim.
  • Disability Claims Denial In some circumstances, insurance companies do not have to show that they were correct in denying a disability claim; they only need to show that the denial was not arbitrary or capricious.
  • Disability Claims Appeals The ERISA appeals process is highly regulated with important deadlines to meet and procedures to follow. Our attorneys know the system and strive to make it work for you.
  • Does ERISA Apply to Me? Learn the exceptions to ERISA.
  • Analyzing Your Case Our attorneys often succeed where others fail because of our careful and complete analysis of each ERISA case.
