ERISA Disability Claims

Have You Been Denied Your ERISA Disability Claim?

Albany, New York, ERISA Disability Insurance Lawyer Who Fights for You

In 1974, the United States Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) to help ensure that workers had an opportunity to participate in a government-backed retirement pension and disability insurance plan. Unfortunately, workers covered under ERISA plans often struggle with receiving the disability insurance benefits they are entitled to after an injury on the job. Often, the amount of record-keeping is burdensome, or a minor mistake made on the initial claim form will cause insurmountable confusion.

ERISA was enacted to protect the rights of workers. We fight hard for you.

If you have been injured on the job or denied disability insurance benefits under ERISA, the Law Offices of Hacker & Murphy, LLP, can help you file and receive the benefits you are entitled to. You don't have to be afraid of losing too much of your insurance benefits to legal fees, either. Under the law, the fees we are allowed to charge are capped at a percentage of your benefits. If we don't collect money for your claim, you won't pay insurance fees. It's only fair.

Denied disability insurance? Fighting large insurance companies is tough.

ERISA claims must be paid through a private insurance carrier such as Colonial Life, Prudential or New York Life. Insurance companies don't pay insurance claims without a fight. Put our experience on your side. We will handle everything for you.

Whether you have been injured in a construction site accident or have suffered a health problem because of long-term exposure to a dangerous environment on the job, we can help you fight for the benefits your family needs.
