Los Angeles ERISA Disability Lawyer

An ERISA lawyer in Los Angeles can fight for a number of different damages for claimants in long term disability cases. Under ERISA and state law, an employee who has been injured on the job has the right to a jury trial. As a part of this process, a lawyer in Los Angeles can fight for damages in addition to disability benefits outlined under ERISA. These additional awards include compensatory damages, punitive damages, and even payment for emotional distress.

Although ERISA was enacted in 1974 to protect employee rights, insurance companies have become extremely adept at turning this federal mandate around to benefit themselves. For example, under ERISA, plan administrators are allowed to declare whether a claimant is disabled or not. With this power, many insurers have attempted to justify turning down benefits for workers, even when they were legitimately disabled.
