Disability Insurance Bad Faith
Unscrupulous insurers look for every possible legal and technical angle to save money by denying valid claims, including:
- Overruling your doctor's opinion
- Reclassifying your injury as an illness rather than an injury
- Retroactively cancelling your insurance policy
- Insisting on independent medical examination by their own insurer-friendly physicians
- Burying you in burdensome paperwork
If your insurance company has wrongfully delayed, denied or terminated your disability benefits, please contact the insurance bad faith attorneys of Shernoff Bidart & Darras LLP. Your initial consultation is free of charge and you will pay no attorneys fees unless you receive money.
Individual Insurance and Employer-Sponsored Long-Term Disability
We represent policyholders who have purchased private disability insurance from an agent or broker, including occupation-specific, credit card, mortgage, business overhead and key man disability insurance.
We also represent people who purchase long-term disability insurance (LTD) through their employers. If your employer paid your premiums, a potential lawsuit is litigated under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and heard by a judge, not a jury. Legal remedies in ERISA cases are typically limited to benefits owed.
If your insurance company has denied payment of your disability benefits, don't take no for an answer. Talk to the disability insurance claims lawyers of Shernoff Bidart & Darras LLP today.
Our law firm introduced the legal concept of insurance bad faith in 1971 by winning disability benefits for a disabled farm worker, Otis Drake, whose disability benefits had been cut off. In 1979, we established the legal precedent for insurance bad faith in Eagan v. Mutual of Omaha, a case involving another disabled worker.
