At Eric Buchanan & Associates, we understand that facing a denied insurance claim can feel like standing alone against an opponent that has far more resources, far more attorneys, and far more experience navigating the system than you do. Insurance companies know the law. They have attorneys on their side who will use that knowledge to defend the denial of your claim. That is exactly why our firm exists: to level the playing field and stand beside you, every step of the way, until you get the benefits you deserve.
More Than Twenty Years of Fighting for Our Clients
For over two decades, Eric Buchanan & Associates has represented individuals and families across the country who have been denied the disability, life, and health insurance benefits they paid for and were promised. In that time, our team has come to understand something insurance companies rarely acknowledge publicly: claim denials are often not about whether you truly qualify for benefits, but about whether the insurance company can find a reason, however small, to protect its own bottom line.
We are a boutique law firm, focused primarily on disability insurance, ERISA claims, and related insurance benefits like life insurance denials. Because we limit our practice to this specific area of the law, our team has learned the ins and outs of disability insurance law, ERISA law, bad faith law, and insurance law in a way that a general practice firm simply cannot match. In fact, our team has fought for our clients so long, and so well, that we have helped change the rules so the law is more on our clients’ side, and our attorneys regularly teach other lawyers at conferences nationwide.
Strength. Guidance. Experience. Trust.
These four words are more than a slogan for our firm. They represent the foundation of how we treat every single client who walks through our doors or picks up the phone to call us.
- Strength means we do not back down when an insurance company denies a legitimate claim. Our team regularly takes cases to court and litigates them to the end when insurance companies are not willing to settle fairly.
- Guidance means we take the time to explain what is happening at every stage of your claim, so you are never left wondering what comes next or why a decision was made. We know that the best time to fight a denial is before an appeal is filed, and we work with treating doctors to make sure the medical evidence actually addresses the restrictions and limitations that matter under the law.
- Experience means our attorneys bring years of focused practice handling individual disability claims, ERISA benefit disputes, life insurance denials, and claims for doctors, professionals, and executives, including cases against many of the nation’s largest insurance companies.
- Trust means our clients know that when they hire Eric Buchanan & Associates, they are not just hiring a law firm. They are gaining a partner who is personally invested in the outcome of their case, nationwide.
Why the Fight Matters
Disability, life, and health insurance exist for one reason: to protect people and families when the unexpected happens. A serious illness, an injury, or a debilitating medical condition can upend a person’s entire life, and the benefits they have paid into for years are supposed to provide a measure of financial security during an already difficult time.
Unfortunately, the real world of disability insurance contains too many stories of promises made and promises broken. Claims get denied for reasons that seem arbitrary or unfair. Paperwork gets lost. Medical evidence gets dismissed or downplayed. And too often, people give up on benefits they are rightfully owed simply because they do not know where to turn or believe they cannot take on a large insurance company by themselves. We have seen many cases where an insurance company takes advantage of someone who is unrepresented, and we refuse to let that happen to our clients.
You Are Not Alone, and in Most Cases There Is No Fee Unless We Win
If your disability, life, or health insurance benefits have been denied, please hear this clearly: you do not have to face the insurance company alone. You do not need to navigate confusing appeal deadlines, medical documentation requirements, or legal jargon by yourself. In most cases, we assume all of the risk. If we don’t win your case, there usually is no fee, only case expenses.
Eric Buchanan & Associates is here to help you understand your rights, build the strongest possible case, and fight for the outcome you deserve, wherever you are in the country.
