If you have a severe medical condition or disability that is keeping you from earning a full-time salary, you may be entitled to benefits under your employer sponsored group health plan. For the most part, these plans are regulated by an important 1970s federal law called the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
ERISA provides key benefits to plan beneficiaries. However, the big insurance companies are well acquainted with the ERISA claims process; they have developed many tactics and strategies that they use to deny claims and limit payouts. At Bartolic Law, our dedicated Western Springs ERISA attorneys have the skills and legal knowledge needed to help ERISA claimants fight back. If your claim for benefits was denied in Cook County, Illinois, please contact our law firm today for your free case evaluation.
You will have 180 days to bring your appeal. If you fail to take action, your case will likely be over, and you will not receive your benefits. Do not miss your chance to appeal. When appealing, you need to work with a lawyer who can help you prepare a strong claim that directly attacks the insurance company’s faulty reasoning. You must include additional supporting evidence to back up your claim. The best thing you can do to protect your rights is to get your denial letter to a Western Springs ERISA attorney immediately.
As is true with any legal case, your appeal (or lawsuit) will only be successful if you have compelling supporting evidence. Most people are unaware of the fact that ERISA has specialty evidentiary requirements. If you file a lawsuit for your benefits, the court is largely limited to reviewing the contents of your claim file. In other words, if you fail to submit key evidence to the insurance company (medical records, witness testimony, etc), you will likely lose out on the right to use that evidence in any future court proceedings. This is one reason why you need to get a Western Springs ERISA attorney by your side as soon as possible. Your lawyer will make sure that all relevant evidence gets into your claim file.
At Bartolic Law, our aggressive Western Springs ERISA lawyers are proud to fight for the legal rights and financial interests of claimants in Northern Illinois. If your ERISA claim was denied in Cook County, we can help. Please do not hesitate to contact us today at (312) 635-1600 to schedule a free review of your case.
