ERISA Insurance Claims
We specialize in complex ERISA-regulated insurance claims involving disability, life, and accidental death benefits. Our team leverages insider knowledge of insurance company tactics to challenge unfair denials through strategic evidence building and federal court litigation. Clients benefit from our exclusive focus on this niche area of law since 1990.
Long-Term Disability
Our firm handles long-term disability insurance denials by creating comprehensive evidence packages that counter insurer objections. We analyze policy language, gather medical documentation, and prepare appeals that meet federal court standards for ERISA claims. Our success stems from understanding both medical and legal requirements.
Life Insurance Claims
We recover wrongfully denied life insurance benefits by challenging insurers' interpretations of policy exclusions and coverage terms. Our process includes reviewing claim histories, obtaining independent medical evaluations, and preparing litigation-ready documentation to prove entitlement under federal regulations.
Accidental Death & Dismemberment
Our team challenges accidental death and dismemberment claim denials by proving accidental causation against insurer defenses like intoxication exclusions. We work with medical experts to establish factual causality and prepare evidence packages that meet ERISA's strict federal court requirements for denied claims.
Short-Term Disability
We assist with short-term disability insurance denials by analyzing policy terms, gathering medical evidence, and creating strategic appeals that address insurers' specific denial reasons. Our approach focuses on meeting ERISA's procedural requirements while building medically supported cases for benefit approval.

I really enjoyed working with Price and his team. They were very flexible, in dealing with me and the difficult circumstances Covid created. They showed both a knowledge of the law and commitment to fairness, as well as a commitment to the client. I would recommend, them to anyone looking for good team to work with, as they navigate the complicated world of ERISA law.

I am a local lawyer, and I have known Price McNamara for almost two decades. Price has an excellent reputation, is a hard worker, and he gets great results for his clients! When clients ask me about ERISA claims, short and long-term disability claims, and life insurance issues, I refer those clients to the Law Offices of J. Price McNamara, and Price takes care of them. I highly recommend the Law Offices of J. Price McNamara.

Mr. Price was so helpful. He listened attentively and compassionately. Early on in our conversation he shared that we were a social security case and his specialty was ERISA cases so he would recommend someone who could better handle our concern. Still, knowing this, he spent 30 minutes of his valuable time offering us advice and encouragement. He genuinely cares for his clients and sees them as people, not projects. I am indebted to him.
