Mr. Harrigan has provided successful legal representation in the ERISA appeal process to many individuals with the denial of their group long-term disability claim by implementing a detailed and comprehensive strategy that begins with a thorough review and analysis of your claim and claim file obtained from the insurance company and ends with the drafting of a complex legal, medical, factual, occupational and financial brief to the insurance company.
