ERISA Claims

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that regulates the employee benefit plans of nearly all for-profit businesses in the United States.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is a federal law that regulates the employee benefit plans of nearly all for-profit businesses in the United States. Kimsey Law Group has significant experience representing clients with disability insurance that falls under an ERISA-governed employee benefit plan. When a client is not immediately paid on a policy governed by ERISA, the firm quickly and aggressively begins working to obtain benefits through the administrative process or federal litigation.

ERISA claims litigation is an extremely specialized area of law that requires specific expertise on the administrative claims procedures, and requires litigation in Federal court. At Kimsey Law Group, the attorneys litigating ERISA governed claims are well versed in the federal law and admitted to practice before the United States District Courts.

Disability Insurance Claims

Approximately 50 percent of people who are disabled longer than six months remain disabled after five years. When an insurance company refuses to pay, the results are financially and personally devastating. Often, disability insurance policies are written with intentionally ambiguous and confusing language, giving the insurance companies an excuse to deny or delay the payment of needed benefits.

The firm has helped thousands of clients recover benefits under disability insurance policies, including reviewing and interpreting disability insurance policies, filing claims, obtaining needed treatment, assisting clients with appeals after a claim has been denied, and mediation or litigation of claims.
