Fighting For Insurance Benefits For Mental Illness

Lebau & Neuworth helps individuals with mental and physical disabilities get the benefits they need under an employer’s employee benefit plan and/or private insurance plans.

Make sure you get a lawyer experienced in handling these types of claims. As the article makes clear insurance companies are not your best friends when they have to pay out required benefits. Call us.
