In Reply to: CLAIM DENIALS BY UNUM AND OTHER COMPANIES posted by Jonathan on January 01, 2001 at 21:57:05:
: Some of the postings on this board speak of disability insurance claim denials, but I have not seen anything that indicates claimants are aware of statute of limitations problems when coverage is obtained through an employer. Employer sponsored plans are usually covered by federal rules (ERISA) which are very prejudicial to employees. Employees may have as little as 60 days to effectively appeal the denial of claim. As soon as you have a denial from a disability carrier, SEE A LAWYER IMMEDIATELY.
See a lawyer? If you have a name of one that will handle an Erisa claim, please E-mail me
at clb61@lycos.com. I can't find one. I have sent a complaint to the Florida Dept of Finance, but I haven't heard back from them. Any Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks
Carol
