Depending on the type of insurance policy you have, disability insurance litigation will be heard in either State or Federal Courts.
- For instance, most disability insurance is covered under a federal law called ERISA. If your case falls under ERISA, you must go through the appeals process before you have the right to sue the insurance company. ERISA cases are heard in Federal Court.
- Contrary to ERISA litigation, Private or Individual Disability policies that need to be litigated are governed by state laws and are heard in State Court.
Should you have to file an ERISA disability insurance lawsuit, our skilled long term disability attorneys have extensive experience representing claimants in litigation in Federal Courts across the country. Upon a thorough evaluation of your claim, if we determine that you have a private or individual disability policy, we will file the action in the correct jurisdiction or, if necessary, we will associate local counsel in the proper jurisdiction.
