If your insurance claim or employee benefit claim has been denied, you need to put an experienced attorney at your side. Contact us at the insurance and employee benefits law offices of The Johnson Law Firm. I know the relevant laws and how employers and insurance companies try to get around them.

ERISA: Employee Retirement Income Security Act

If you work for a company that provides employee benefits packages, you or your beneficiaries may be entitled to the benefits offered under those packages. The federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) provides minimum standards that employers must meet to ensure that plan participants are provided with plan information, that those plans are administered responsibly, and that employees or their families receive all legally-due employee benefits.

ERISA plans may provide benefits through an insurance policy or may be self-insured by the employer. They may provide medical, long-term disability (LTD), short-term disability (STD), life insurance, benefits for loss of life or accidental death, or retirement benefits. Some plans cover only occupational accidents.

Many workers have never heard of ERISA until they’ve been denied an insurance benefit. That’s why it is so important to contact us at The Johnson Law Firm. You should speak to an attorney as soon as your benefits claim has been unfairly denied.

Texas Insurance Code and Texas Common Law

Some insurance coverage, such as an individual policy or automobile policy, is not governed by ERISA and is instead subject to Texas law. The Texas Insurance Code and Texas common law provide several remedies for improper or bad faith insurance claim denials or misrepresentations made to sell insurance coverage.
