California ERISA Long-Term Disability Lawyers
Serving San Francisco for Over 30 Years
Understanding ERISA Claims and Your Rights
The majority of employer-provided benefit plans and pensions fall under the jurisdiction of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). While ERISA offers a framework for addressing long-term disability claims, it unfortunately provides insurance companies with a significant advantage, leading to wrongful claim denials and limited rights for claimants.
Filing an ERISA claim is intricate, demanding an intricate understanding of federal statutes, case law, and the strategies employed by insurance companies. At the DL Law Group in San Francisco, we assist clients whose claims have been denied, as well as those embroiled in disputes over employer-based disability, pension, or life insurance plans.
Our attorneys possess the essential experience, focused knowledge, and proven expertise required to tackle even the most complex cases in this highly specialized area of the law.

Do You Need an Attorney for ERISA Claims?
When you file an ERISA claim, the law tends to favor powerful insurance companies seeking to minimize or avoid payouts. The law is skewed in favor of insurance companies and has several limitations, including:
- Restricting your rights and available remedies
- Mandating you to exhaust an administrative appeal before filing a lawsuit against the insurer
- Dictating what evidence can be introduced and when
- Omitting the possibility of a jury trial
- Excluding punitive damages
Because the law doesn't impose substantial penalties for denying legitimate claims, insurance companies can unjustly deny them without consequences.
