San Diego County Pension and Disability Benefits Appeals Lawyer George de la Flor
La Mesa CA Disability Appeal Attorney San Diego County ERISA Claim Lawyer California

Don't Let an Insurance Company Get Away With Wrongfully Denying Your Disability Claim

Insurance companies often just deny your claim initially, hoping you'll just give up.

Don't lose hope. If your doctor says you are unable to perform your job duties because of a physical or psychological disability, you have rights.

If you believe your disability claim was wrongfully denied, you can appeal. We can represent you in an administrative appeal or in federal court.

Contact us by e-mail or call (619) 698-2926 today to discuss an appeal of your wrongfully denied disability claim.

Serving San Diego County Since 1983

Pension and insurance companies tend to think of employees making claims through their employer-sponsored benefit plan as numbers. If they deny your claim, it's good for their balance sheet.

If your employer-sponsored disability insurance or pension plan has wrongfully denied you benefits, we can help.

A trial lawyer with 25 years of experience, attorney George de la Flor represents all types of employees in East County and in both San Diego Orange counties who have been wrongfully denied disability or pension benefits.

Contact us to discuss your pension or disability claim.

How ERISA Impacts Your Pension or Disability Benefits Dispute

The federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) was passed in 1974, in part to protect employees who have disputes with employer-sponsored benefit plans.

When your claims are wrongfully denied, depending on the type of insurance or pension benefit plan you have, you may need to pursue your claim through:

  • An insurance bad faith claim against your insurance company
  • If your plan is covered by ERISA, internal insurance company appeals or a lawsuit in federal court
  • If your plan is through a city, county or state pension or disability plan, an administrative agency appeal   

Attorney de la Flor has handled cases in all of these arenas, as well as in California and federal courts.

Have Your Early Retirement Benefits Been Denied by Your Union Because of a Break in Service?

Union rules often punish people who work non-union. For example, the union may deny you early retirement benefits because of even a short "break in service." If you have a dispute with a union about early retirement benefits or another benefits issue, we can represent you in an administrative appeal or in federal court. Contact us today to discuss an appeal of your benefits. Our law office is convenient to I-8 and Highways 94 and 125.
