San Jose ERISA Attorney

Many people in San Jose rely upon benefits provided by their employers to help them if they get sick or injured or to support their household after a retirement or accidental death. These benefits can be vital to paying even your most basic expenses, especially if you cannot work due to a disability for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, too often employers or insurance companies deny perfectly valid claims for benefits to which you are entitled. If this happens, you should discuss your situation with the law firm of Roberts Disability Law, P.C. as soon as possible.

Our attorneys fully understand the laws regarding employer-provided benefits and employee rights–specifically the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). ERISA provides many rights for employees when it comes to benefits, though the law can be confusing and complicated. For this reason, you always want to make sure you seek help from a lawyer who has experience handling ERISA claims.

How We Can Help You

Our experienced attorneys at Roberts Disability Law, P.C. can help you with your San Jose ERISA claim in many ways. First, we will thoroughly evaluate and review your claim denial or other benefits issues to determine whether you have a valid claim under the law. If you do have a claim and have been wrongfully denied, we can explore many options to resolve the matter. We can negotiate with the insurance company or your employer to see they may be willing to approve your claim.

In addition, we can pursue any administrative appeals available to you by ERISA. If negotiations and administrative appeals are still not successful, we can pursue litigation under ERISA § 502. We will always try to find the solution that results in you obtaining your benefits as soon as possible because we understand how important benefit payments can be for you and your family.

Our ERISA legal team regularly handles claims involving the following:

• Long term disability benefits;
• Short-term disability benefits;
• Health care coverage;
• Retirement plans;
• Life insurance;
• Accidental death insurance;
• Claims regarding discrimination or interference with benefits;
• Retaliation for making a claim.

It is important to know that claims involving ERISA benefits can differ substantially from insurance claims not regulated by ERISA. Therefore, many insurance attorneys may not be adequately familiar with ERISA procedures and requirements to successfully handle your claim. You should always ensure that the lawyer representing you in your case has thorough knowledge of ERISA and how to apply the law to your claim.
