ERISA Dispute Lawyers — Michigan
Workers with insurance coverage through work may have difficulties with long-term disability insurance. Most employee insurance is regulated by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA.
ERISA is notorious for its complicated rules and for the ways it limits the rights of the insured. These coverage issues are difficult for injured or sick workers to overcome. With the assistance of an experienced ERISA lawyer, workers may be able to succeed in receiving justly deserved long-term disability benefits. With an attorney on your side, you stand a better chance.

Attorney Robert June sees men and women every day who have been insulted and treated with callous disregard by their company's insurance carrier in regard to obtaining health, disability or life insurance benefits. Our goal is to protect your rights to long-term disability. We also assist clients with Social Security Disability Insurance procedures and other insurance disputes.
Our law firm represents clients at any step of a disability claim; from filing an initial ERISA claim to filing a lawsuit for wrongful ERISA claim denial.
Part of the challenge with filing an ERISA claim on your own is that you may be unfamiliar with the intricacies of the law. Your employer's insurance carrier, however, fully understands the law and may try to use it against you.
Examples of ERISA working against the injured: (1) They actually hire private investigators to follow clients. (2) One worker with work restrictions was asked to sign forms releasing all medical records to his insurer. He assumed that the company was gathering medical records. When the appeal came, his medical file was empty and the claim was denied. The insurer had not accessed any medical records so it looked like the insured had no medical problems. The fine print that nobody read said that it was the client's responsibility to provide this information at the appeal. A lawyer knows your rights and helps you navigate these issues.
When your benefits stop short of the duration promised by your policy, seek an attorney who can advocate effectively on your behalf. We have experience representing policyholders in insurance coverage disputes, in particular ERISA benefits disputes.
