Experienced Representation in ERISA Matters

Most disability insurance claims fall under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974. This is a complex federal statute that imposes numerous procedures and deadlines claimants must follow if they wish to collect their rightful benefits. It is essential that you work with an attorney who not only understands ERISA, but who is also highly experienced in navigating various ERISA-related issues.

As an established and well-respected law firm dedicated entirely to the practice of disability insurance law, we can assist you with all aspects of your claim, including ensuring compliance with ERISA deadlines and related matters. We have many years of experience handling these types of cases and can provide the guidance, resources, and advocacy you need.

Can You Appeal a Denied Disability Insurance Claim in New Mexico?

If your disability insurance company denies your claim, you may appeal. You can also appeal if the insurance company terminates your benefits early. In most cases, you will need to follow the insurance company’s internal appeals process before filing a lawsuit in court.

Appealing a denied disability claim involves cooperation with your medical team. You should provide your insurance company with as much information as possible regarding your disability and/or medical condition. However, in many cases, simply proving that you are disabled is not enough.

Because most disability insurance cases in New Mexico are decided under an “arbitrary and capricious” standard, you will likely need to prove that the insurance company had no reasonable grounds for denying your claim. This standard does not favor claimants and can make it very difficult for you to obtain benefits. It is important that you provide as much evidence as possible in support of your claim, not only to improve your immediate chance of securing benefits but also to ensure this proof goes into your record. Once a final denial of benefits is made, your record is closed, and you will no longer be able to provide any new or additional evidence before the court.

Put a Powerful Legal Team on Your Side

Insurance companies are generally not willing to pay out claims and will often go to great lengths to dispute or deny them. At Dabdoub Law Firm, we do not accept lowball settlement offers made by insurance companies to our clients. Instead, our New Mexico disability insurance lawyers aggressively pursue favorable lump-sum settlements and, when necessary, represent our clients in federal court.

The insurance company has a full legal team at its disposal; you should have a powerful team on your side, too. Choose a team that not only understands the complexities of the law but also knows how to win—choose Dabdoub Law Firm.
