The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) presents unique procedural and legal challenges. From restrictive deadlines to limited opportunities for new evidence, ERISA makes appealing a denied claim a daunting task for most individuals. Many clients feel the system is stacked against them, especially when insurers use vague policy language or administrative loopholes to justify rejections.
Bartolic Law tackles these obstacles head-on. Each case begins with a deep-dive review of the denial letter, the policy terms, medical evidence, and insurer communications. Our attorneys employ a meticulous approach, focusing on strengthening the appeal with robust documentation, expert medical opinions, vocational assessments, and well-crafted legal arguments. We craft appeals that address every aspect of the insurer’s reasoning, whether flawed medical conclusions, procedural errors, or misapplied definitions of disability.
You have only a limited window of time—typically 180 days—to file an appeal after a denial, and this appeal is your sole opportunity to include all relevant evidence before potential litigation. Bartolic Law knows the stakes involved and works swiftly to ensure nothing is left to chance.
We humanize each case, highlighting how your disability affects your daily life and work capacity. While many insurers rely on algorithms and data to reject claims, we bring your story to life through supporting evidence such as photographs, video documentation, and thorough analysis of medical records. Our attorneys draw on decades of collective experience to predict potential insurer defenses and address these points proactively in the appeal.
