Charleston ERISA and Denial of Benefits Lawyers
Unfortunately, as a cost-cutting measure, some employers or their insurance companies may try to deny you the benefits you have rightfully earned. Fortunately, there is a federal law, the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) that provides a legal means to obtain the benefits you deserve.
Atkinson & Polak, PLLC, is experienced at handling ERISA matters. We use the ERISA laws to overcome denial of coverage by employers. Our firm represents clients in ERISA benefits litigation involving:
- Health insurance
- Disability insurance
- Life insurance
- Pension benefits
Call us at 304.346.5100 or contact us online for a free consultation. We want to help you get the health and retirement benefits you deserve.
When Your Benefits Are Denied
Insurance companies look at employee benefits coverage in the same way they look at any other insurance claim. For them, it is a matter of dollars and cents. However, for you, denial of coverage can have a major negative effect on your life. If you are denied health insurance coverage, you may not receive the health care and treatment you need to cope with a serious illness. Without disability benefits you may struggle to make ends meet. Denial of pension rights may mean the difference between a retirement lived in comfort and one lived in poverty.
You do not have to passively accept denial of your health, disability, or pension claims. Our attorneys will work to obtain the benefits you deserve. We understand the complexities involved in such claims, and how to build a strong and persuasive case designed to obtain the benefits you need.
You Will Not Owe Attorney Fees Unless You Recover
In ERISA cases, federal law provides that the insurance company or fiduciary who denied the benefits will pay the plaintiff’s attorney fees. If Atkinson & Polak does not recover benefits for you, you will not owe a fee.
