We provide aggressive representation for insurance disputes. At Weldon & Rothman, we have significant experience in the representation of insureds and policy holders making insurance claims, challenging claim denials, and pursuing insurance litigation. Insurance denials are common. We work hard to hold insurance carriers accountable.
Disability Insurance
Disability insurance provides peace of mind knowing that you and your family will have a stable source of income in the event of disability. What folks may not know is that not all disability insurance is the same. State law governs disability insurance purchased through an insurance agent; provided as part of a church sponsored employee benefits plan; or provided as part of a local, state, or federal government sponsored employee benefits plan. A federal law known as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or more commonly referred to as ERISA, governs almost all other disability insurance provided through employment.
Property Insurance
We have significant experience representing insureds in claims and litigation involving property damage. If you have suffered damages to your home, business or auto, then a claim must be made with your insurance company. In the claims process, insurance companies have always held a big advantage over the insured; they have the money and extensive resources used to investigate and handle claims, and often project a “David and Goliath” image when dealing with an insured challenging the settlement of his or her claim.
