The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, also known as ERISA, governs certain employer-provided health insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance plans. The federal ERISA statute enacted was meant to protect employees by establishing remedies for benefits denials, breaches of fiduciary duties, and failures to provide notice of plan terms or benefit changes. Unfortunately, insurance companies and ERISA insurance plans ofen use the ERISA regulation complexities as a way to improperly deny ERISA claims for ERISA benefits causing individuals to appeal through an administrative process or bring a Federal court lawsuit to recover their ERISA benefits.
Many attorneys are uncomfortable with ERISA cases, and will usually not take these types of cases. Well-funded insurance companies have a clear advantage over sick, disabled, or grieving claimants who do not have experienced ERISA attorneys. Specific rules and strict deadlines govern the ERISA administrative process that individuals must follow before they are allowed to file an ERISA lawsuit. Individuals must comply with the insurance plan's appellate procedures and ERISA law in order to bring an ERISA lawsuit. An attorney specializing in ERISA law can help identify mistakes and weaknesses in the insurer's review and ensure your ERISA administrative record contains appropriate evidence needed to support your claim and navigate the appeals process.
The McKennon Law Group specializes in ERISA insurance and insurance bad faith claims, appeals, and trials. The attorneys at the McKennon Law Group have over forty years of combined experience in litigating ERISA insurance and insurance bad faith cases. Attorneys Robert J. McKennon and Scott E. Calvert have previously represented large insurance companies issuing policies of disability, life, health, and long-term care insurance. Therefore, we can offer a unique perspective and broader understanding of how the insurance industry approaches both ERISA and insurance bad faith claims.

From the moment an employee is injured, there are time limits for both the employee and employer. Employers must make certain reports to the court system for North Carolina Worker's Compensation case, Industrial Commission. Employer reports do not satisfy the reporting obligations of the employee or extend the time limit for the employee to make his claim.
Under certain circumstances, an injured employee may report their injury to their employer and even be paid for time missed from work. If the employee does not make the proper filing with the Industrial Commssion, the employee's claim can be dismissed and they will receive no further benefits.
It is critical to know what benefits to demand. An injured worker is entitled to numerous benefits, unfortunately it is not the employer's obligation to advise their injured employee of these benefits. At DiRusso & DiRusso, we offer free consultations with attorneys who practice Worker's Compensation.
If you're in need of a Surry County Worker's Compensation Lawyer, contact DiRusso & DiRusso today.

California imposes an "implied duty of good faith and fair dealing" law in every insurance contract. This duty requires insurers to act in a fair and reasonable manner and refrain from improperly delaying or denying benefits. This includes policies that provide the following: short-term and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, long-term care insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, propety/casualty insurance, commercial general liability, professional liability, and officers & directors liability insurance. By improperly delaying or denying benefits, insurance companies may be acting in "bad faith". In California law, this is referred to as insurance bad faith. Insurance bad faith can also apply to cases where insurance companies fail to adequately investigate a claim. When an insurance company acts in its own interest rather than the interest of the insured policyholder, the insurance company may be liable for insurance bad faith. Winning an insurance bad faith claim may allow you to recover attorneys' fees, emotional distress damages, compensable economic damages, punitive damages, pre-judgment interest, post judgment interest and policy benefits.
