ERISA Long Term Disability Benefits.

If you become disabled and cannot work you may qualify for long-term disability under something known by the acronym ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act).  How you apply and the careful steps that need to be taken may depend on whether or not you ever see those life-sustaining benefits.

There are common mistakes that occur when filing for ERISA benefits. 

1.  Assuming that your employer agrees with HOW disabled you really are.

2.  Relying on your employer’s human resource department for wise advice.

3.  Do not document your claim by using ONLY the form provided by the insurance company.

4.  You must not actively pursue activities that your doctor warned you against.

5.  Don’t use your insurance company’s lawyers to help you file for benefits

6.  NEVER work with a lawyer who is not experienced in ERISA benefits.

Attorney for the Injured or Disabled.

Finding an attorney that will help you through the pitfalls of getting everything that you deserve if you are injured or disabled can be a daunting task.  You need to find someone who devotes full time to this pursuit.  If you go on the internet you will find attorneys and larger firms that “dabble” in the practice of worker’s compensation and social security disability.  They may have an individual on staff who has some expertise in this area, but what you are looking for is someone who can and WILL devote his full attention to your case. 

Perhaps you have been injured on the job or an accident has occurred that has limited your ability to do your job.  Either way, you need to have a person who looks for every legal means to provide for you and your family.
