ERISA, or the EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT:
In 1974, the federal government established the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) so employees can deduct contributions to long-term disability policies.

ERISA includes:

• Disability
• Health Insurance
• Severance
• Life Insurance
• Other Employer Benefits

When you have a legal question or life issue in any of these areas, contact me right away. There is never a fee unless we win your case!

As part of their employee benefits packages, many employees receive supplemental Short and Long term disability insurance, and hope they never have to use it. Unfortunately, when these employees become disabled and need to file a claim to collect benefits, they find their insurance company doesn’t want to pay.

Protecting the Rights of Employees

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was established in 1974 to protect the rights of employees to collect on short-term and long-term disability benefits. Going through the court system and using mediation to collect insurance benefits can be daunting, complicated, and cause unnecessary delays if done alone. Having an ERISA disability benefits lawyer on your side to fight for your rights can take out the worry, enhance your chances of winning, and in many circumstances, get you compensation sooner.

Kentucky ERISA Disability Benefits Lawyer

Do not hesitate to contact me at the Law Office of Michael P. Sullivan for a competent and compassionate Louisville and Elizabethton, Kentucky disability lawyer.  It can be beneficial to get a lawyer involved early in the claims process.  Once all administrative appeals are exhausted, supplementing the record for litigation is generally prohibited.  The point is one has to get his or her very best proof in the record early on.  Knowing what proof to submit to maximize the chances of winning, how to get it in front of the carrier, and getting it their before the record closes are key events.   Having a lawyer work for you early can enhance your chances of winning should litigation be necessary.    I put my experience to work to pursue your case through the appeals process in Federal court. Many times, collecting on ERISA benefits can key on an approval from the Social Security Administration for Social Security Disability benefits.   In most cases, the same underlying medical condition(s) provides a basis for both claims.  I am an attorney with extensive knowledge in this area of law, and I work to maximize compensation from both benefits.

Because I understand the importance of receiving just compensation for your disabilities quickly, my office has developed a refined approach to dealing with each case. My staff is highly trained. Of counsel attorney Robert Florio also assists with ERISA cases. Together we make a highly effective team in working for you. Contact me today for a free consultation. My office also handles personal injury cases. There is no fee unless we collect money for you. Evening and weekend appointments are available.
