Kantor & Kantor is a one of the most experienced and highly respected law firms dealing with the prosecution of claims against insurance companies. Our firm has extensive experience with the complex appeals procedure and Federal Court litigation of ERISA matters.

Insurance companies make every effort to avoid making pay outs, attempting to minimize their loses. They are notorious for denying ERISA claims. The reason for the lack of fairness and proper payment of claims in ERISA cases is that when an insurance company denies an ERISA claim, it knows that even if it is wrong in denying the claim, the most the court can force the insurance company to pay is the claim it should have paid in the first place. If that is all the insurance company can be liable for, what is the incentive for the insurer to pay the claim?

All ERISA claims have several things in common. They are most frequently litigated in Federal Court, a court in which most lawyers are uncomfortable. Before getting to court there is an administrative appeal that you must follow. It is imperative that this appeal procedure is followed. If it is not, you will in all likelihood lose your right to sue the insurance company. If you wish a brief summary of the appeal process and what you must do to make sure the appeal is properly prosecuted, e-mail us and we will send you one.
