ERISA

Employment Retirement Income Security Act

In response to abuses by corporations and insurance companies, Congress passed the Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in 1974. This prevents your employer and insurance providers from unfairly or arbitrarily taking away your pension benefits, insurance coverage, or long-term disability benefits.

But even after the passage of this law, some companies continue to put profits over people, by denying them the benefits they deserve. At McLeod & Heinrichs, we stand up for people who have been unfairly denied their retirement, health coverage, and long-term disability benefits.

Fighting for Our Clients' Rights

If you or a family member has received notice of a denial of an insurance claim or a reduction in insurance benefits, you need to take action to protect what you have worked so hard to achieve. In a free consultation, our lawyers will review your situation, inform you of your rights, and what it will take to get results in your case.

Your employer or your insurance company may have made an honest mistake, or they could be simply seizing the opportunity to keep what they owe you. If we determine that you have been unfairly or illegally denied retirement or insurance benefits, we will take action to obtain the money or insurance coverage you are entitled to.

You have worked hard to achieve your pension, your health care coverage, and your longterm disability benefits. You should not let your employer or insurance company take these precious assets away in violation of the law.

McLeod & Heinrichs will fight for your rights using the power of the law.

For our attorneys, it is not just a matter of dollars and cents — it is about your future.
