Houston ERISA Attorneys

Proudly Helping Clients Navigate ERISA Claims

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law that established minimum standards for retirement, health, and other welfare benefit plans, including disability insurance, life insurance, and apprenticeship plans. While ERISA is supposed to safeguard employees, insurance companies often use provisions in the act to unfairly deny valid claims.

Our lawyers at Hawash Cicack & Gaston LLP are familiar with the procedures and administrative requirements that need to be followed before you can take legal action against an insurance company for a denied claim. Whether you need guidance filing an ERISA claim for health insurance or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, our lawyers can determine your eligibility and help you recover the benefits you are entitled to.

Why Do I Need an ERISA Attorney to Handle My Claim?

If you think the business insurance claim will be simple and straightforward, think again. The claim and appeal process for ERISA insurance plans can be complex and difficult to navigate, especially if you don’t have a strong background in this area of law.

When it comes to ERISA claim approvals, you usually only get one appeal and one chance to submit the necessary medical, vocational, and witness evidence. An experienced attorney can ensure you are prepared to address different obstacles that can impact whether your ERISA claim is approved.

ERISA appeals that make their way to court often rely on evidence that the insurance company has in its possession, which is why you need a knowledgeable lawyer to guide you and devise a strategy to prevent you from being caught off guard during the claim and appeal process.
