ERISA

ERISA is an acronym for the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 which controls most employee benefits from employer-sponsored health and disability plans.

If you have been denied benefits from the insurance company that underwrites and/or administers your medical or disability plan, Jon Lyons can help you get your claims denial reversed and recover your benefits.

If you are an employee with a disability, you must carefully ensure that your rights to private disability benefits are protected. A claim for private disability benefits can be long and drawn out. There can be multiple levels of appeals, including appeals into the federal court system. It is in your best interest to find a lawyer at the earliest stage possible. 

Although ERISA's complexity might be overwhelming for those attorneys with little experience, Jon Lyons is a skilled ERISA attorney.

Before an employee can bring a lawsuit in court he or she must exhaust all administrative remedies available. In addition, the employee must understand that when dealing with benefits, ERISA generally preempts all state laws. The federal court system is very complex, and an attorney must have appropriate experience and skills in order to successfully litigate in federal court. 

Attorney Jon Lyons has the experience necessary to litigate your ERISA claim for you.

"Many ERISA cases are winnable, and it you have a claim that has been denied, you should call me immediately."
