San Francisco ERISA Litigation Attorneys
If you get your insurance through your employer, it is most likely regulated by ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

ERISA severely limits the rights of policyholders. Indeed, it sometimes seems as if ERISA gives insurance companies almost complete immunity against the consequences of wrongful denials of coverage, no matter how outrageously they act, how malicious the denial of benefits or how ruinous the consequences for the insured. It may seem that way, but the law is complex and a denial in an ERISA insurance dispute does not have to be the final word.
Have your claims for employer-sponsored health, disability or life insurance benefits been unreasonably denied or delayed? Please contact an ERISA litigation attorney at Pillsbury & Levinson, LLP.
"After suffering a severe brain trauma, I was approved by my doctors to go on full-time disability. My insurance company, however, stopped paying my benefits well short of the duration promised by my policy, and given the importance of the benefits to me, I decided to seek legal help. Pillsbury & Levinson guided me through the complex ERISA laws and got me back on claim. I truly believe that I would not have won my appeal without Pillsbury & Levinson's help."
