From Explaining What ERISA Is & How it Works

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act was implemented in 1974 to protect employees and their contractual benefits. If your employer offers group disability insurance, it is likely governed by ERISA. While it may seem that this act would simplify the process of receiving benefits after an injury or illness, that is often not the case. Applying for and receiving benefits under ERISA is complex, and many individuals find themselves with denied claims.

Whether you're just starting the process of pursuing disability benefits or your claim has been denied by the insurance company, we're here to help. Our attorney has been handling ERISA disability claims for more than two decades, and he is prepared to put his extensive experience to work for you.

Don't Let Insurance Companies Keep You From Getting Adequate Support

Insurance companies operate under the guise of helping others, but in actuality, they are truly only looking out for themselves. If you're going up against an insurance giant in your fight for ERISA disability benefits, put an advocate on your side who will protect your best interests. At Shook & Johnson PLLC, our attorney has decades of experience fighting for employees and he is not afraid to go to bat for you.

We'll be here to help you understand ERISA and your specific disability policies, prepare and file a claim, appeal a claim denial, and take litigation action should you need to recover benefits.

You should not attempt to handle your ERISA disability benefits claim on your own—not only because it can be a frustrating task, but because unrepresented claimants risk making mistakes that might cause potentially irreversible damage.
