Metlife Insurance
MetLife, also known as MetLife, Inc. or the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, is one of the largest insurance providers in the world. The company is listed on the Fortune 500 list of the largest US companies (by revenue) and has operated since 1868.
MetLife subsidiaries and affiliates include:
- American Life Insurance Company
- MetLife Health Plans, Inc.
- Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company
- Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
- Delaware American Life Insurance Company
- SafeHealth Life Insurance Company
MetLife (and affiliated companies) collect billions of dollars in premiums from everyday working Americans every year. Those individuals are happy to hand over their hard-earned money, as they believe that in return they will be protected if an illness or disability were to strike. Unfortunately, this is too often not the case – the insurance company that you trusted all those years will try any number of different tricks and loopholes to either delay paying you your compensation, or deny you the payment completely.
We want you to make them pay.
Yes – the insurance company has teams of investigators and legal personnel who are employed to find ways to delay and deny payments. That can seem intimidating – particularly if they throw a lot of legal terminology and paperwork at you to confuse and scare you. That is why we are here: we will be your own legal team. We have taken on MetLife insurance companies before (and won) and we are not afraid to do so again, so get in touch today to see how we can help you.
If your disability insurance is with one of these companies or any other MetLife-affiliated organization, then the professionals at Ronstadt Law can help you to get the benefits that you are entitled to.
Why does Metlife delay insurance claims?
What can you do when Metlife denies your claim?
- Deliberate misinterpretation of terms and conditions
- Overwhelming you with endless paperwork
- Using the wrong type of medical professional to evaluate you and your case
- Disregarding or downplaying the importance of medical information
- Not communicating with you
How to Appeal a Metlife Insurance Claim
The first step in getting what you are owed is by filing an appeal. This is a written request for MetLife to reassess your case and will need to be accompanied by any relevant supporting documentation such as medical reports. There are some strict rules when it comes to filing an appeal – the ERISA regulations dictate how much time you have. As disability insurance specialists, we can help you to appeal your case – making sure that your application is both accurate and within the appropriate deadlines.
The Types of Cases We Manage
When to reach out to an attorney for help.
Always consult with a disability attorney before submitting appeals. The strength of a lawsuit depends on the quality of the appeal.
Insurance companies want you to give up – they save money when you do. Don’t give up! We routinely go up against insurance companies and know what it takes to get your benefits. With so much at stake to protect your livelihood, don’t go at it alone.
Most firms do not provide continued support after your case is won, but we do. We provide you with additional care and protection, because insurance companies use tactics to avoid paying disability benefits after claims are won.
Ronstadt Law Leadership Team
Ray Ortega | July 2021
In 2020 I was dealing with a Long Term Disability (LTD) appeal issue with my private LTD provider. After exhausting “in house” appeal methods to no avail, I decided I needed to seek a professional legal team to assist me with my appeal.
I performed an internet search in the Phoenix area and read through several Disability Attorney websites and advertisements. I decided to reach out to Ronstadt Law and supply them with my basic information to have the firm perform an evaluation on my appeal case.
I received a very quick response on my evaluation we started the ball rolling on building information for my appeal. I was in possession of
numerous documents for my LTD appeal; Erin and her staff worked with me to receive these documents for my case file.
Throughout my appeal process, Erin and her staff allowed me to work hand-in-hand with them to provide comments on insurance documents provided by my LTD provider. This allowed me to stay actively involved in my case and to assist in providing responses to the provider.
Erin and her staff were very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous all the way to our settlement. We settled out of court in the summer of 2021. I highly recommend Ronstadt Law for anyone who has need for legal counsel pertaining to disability issues.
I sure picked the right Firm!
