Michigan Disability Lawyers

Filing Disability Claims in Michigan & Nationwide

Most disability claims fall under a federal law called the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). As a result, most disability lawsuits in Michigan are filed in federal court. That’s why it’s critical to have a Michigan disability claims attorney in your corner as soon as possible. Claims that are contested—for example, claims that are wrongfully denied—will likely end up as a federal lawsuit. Under ERISA rules, disability claims are ruled by a federal judge, which means you’ll need an attorney who is deeply familiar with the law, rules, and regulations established by ERISA.

The Michigan disability lawyers at Dabdoub Law Firm have spent two decades exclusively practicing disability claims. Our experience, knowledge, and proven results make us the ideal advocate for people in Michigan seeking disability benefits. Our attorneys have vast experience with ERISA and long-term disability claims, but whatever the case, our goal is to help clients receive the benefits they deserve.

How Are Michigan Disability Insurance Laws Favorable to Disabled Individuals?

Up until 2007, insurance companies had an unfair advantage in ERISA disability cases arising in Michigan. This is due to the fact that they had “discretion.” This meant that a federal judge could not rule in favor of the claimant unless the insurance company acted completely unreasonably in denying benefits.

This was a harsh standard to meet. It was not enough for a judge to find the individual was disabled. Indeed, a judge needed to find that there was no basis for the denial of benefits.

Michigan put an end to this insurance friendly rule. In 2007, Michigan banned discretion in disability insurance products. Effective February 2007, this ban applies to any insurance policy issued, advertised, or delivered to any person in Michigan.
