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 Sandstone Law Group can help you to get the benefits that you are entitled to.
Get A Free ConsultationWhy does Metlife delay insurance claims?
When you pay your premiums to MetLife (and other insurance companies), they take that money and pool it with other customers’ money. They then take that large sum and invest it in different markets – often these multinational insurance companies are some of the biggest investors in the global market.
So why do they delay paying you? Because the longer they can keep money invested, the more profit they can make.
If you feel that you are owed compensation from an insurance plan with MetLife and that they are giving you the run-around or delaying the payment unnecessarily, then get in touch with Sandstone Law Group. We will make sure that you get the money that is rightfully yours as soon as possible.
What can you do when Metlife denies your claim?
When an insurance company makes attempts to deny you payment on your insurance plan, they are operating in ‘bad faith’. This can include anything from using ambiguities in the contract to trying to find loopholes that they can exploit – and illegal in the United States. If you feel that you have had your disability claim denied for no legitimate reason, then we want to hear from you. Ronstadt law was set up with the specific goal of stopping insurers from acting in bad faith and taking advantage of people like you at times when you are particularly vulnerable and in need of help.
Some of the types of insurance company behavior that we fight against are:
- 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.
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.
