• Civil Trial Litigation: Handling a wide range of complex civil disputes, consumer protection claims, and insurance disputes in both state and federal courts.

Overcoming the Intricacies of ERISA and Insurance Disputes

Federal ERISA regulations are notoriously complex and heavily favor insurance carriers, giving claimants limited time to submit complete administrative records before taking a case to federal court. Insurers often rely on confusing policies, selective independent medical exams, and administrative delay tactics to wear down claimants. Having handled ERISA disputes for more than fifteen years, R. Mark Henry knows how to counter these corporate strategies. He works closely with treating physicians, vocational experts, and medical specialists to compile comprehensive evidentiary files that withstand appellate scrutiny before the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
