Dealing with insurance companies is generally a hassle.

As experienced San Mateo life insurance claims lawyers, we fight on your and your family’s behalf so that you can get the benefits your family needs.

Life Insurance Delays, Disputes, and Denials

Life insurance is meant to help you recover financially in the aftermath of a loved one’s passing. Your loved one worked hard to obtain these benefits as part of his or her employee compensation package, but in too many cases claims filed through employers end up getting delayed, disputed, or denied.

According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), there are several common reasons why this occurs:

• Errors on the part of plan administrators;
• Hidden exclusions in policies;
• Allegations of fraud or misrepresentation by the insured on policy documents;
• Disputes over the manner of death or policy beneficiaries.  

 At Kantor & Kantor, LLP,  our San Mateo life insurance claims lawyer provides the trusted legal guidance and professional representation needed in these disputes. Our legal knowledge and years of experience enable us to fight on your behalf, protecting your rights in these claims.

 Protecting Your Rights To Life Insurance Benefits

In disputes involving employer-provided life insurance benefits, there are complex rules and regulations that apply. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) is meant to protect employees and their families by governing how benefits are administered. However, ERISA also requires specific procedures in the event of denials or disputes.  

As an experienced San Mateo life insurance claims lawyer, we have extensive knowledge of ERISA laws and how they are likely to apply in your case. At Kantor & Kantor, LLP,  you can trust us to take the following actions on your behalf:

• Carefully review all insurance documents and correspondence with administrators;
• Effectively negotiate with businesses, insurers, and ERISA representatives to settle your claim in the quickest manner possible;
• Appeal any decisions that are not in your best interests;
• File a lawsuit seeking compensation on your behalf.
