If you have insurance through your employer and your claim is denied, here are some clues that the attorney you are talking to about your long-term disability claim isn’t experienced:
- Cannot explain how your case would progress from internal appeal to litigation without doing “a little research.”
- They don’t mention ERISA at all.
- Talks about a “trial.”
- Thinks preparing an appeal means sending a letter that says “we appeal.”
- Doesn’t tell you how they are going to get the claim file before doing anything else.
- Talks about depositions.
- Mentions how much money you will get when you sue the insurance company for “bad faith.”
- Talks about filing the lawsuit in your local county courthouse.
