The Unique Challenges of ERISA Disability Claims
Unless you work for the government or a religious organization, your employer-sponsored insurance benefits are most likely governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA.
ERISA sets minimum standards for most disability and health plans in private industry. It offers certain protections for individuals who participate in these plans.
The attorneys of Burnett & Driskill represent employees whose disability claims have been delayed, denied, terminated or otherwise mismanaged. We pursue benefits for disabled clients throughout western Missouri and eastern Kansas.
Delay Can Be Costly
Please contact our law firm before you file an ERISA claim. The way you present the evidence and fill out the necessary forms can make a great difference whether you are approved. We know how to increase your chances of winning before a final denial decision is made in your case.
If you wait until the final denial of your claim, we are not permitted to add information to your file that supports your claim. If you hire us before you file, we can force the company to accept additional critical material and to guarantee your rights under the law. This is not permitted after your final denial.
