Attorney Frank Darras built a firm with nationwide representation that is unique in its ability to battle billion dollar disability insurance companies. He balances this with stellar and unparalleled results for his clients. DarrasLaw has a renowned and honored disability insurance staff to provide a highly qualified, in-depth analysis of complex disability sickness and accident claims.

Fighting for Justice on Behalf of Disabled Clients Everywhere

DarrasLaw is literally in a disability league of their own. Mr. Darras, the attorneys and staff specialize in America’s most difficult cases against insurers with slanted odds and high costs. The most daunting area that very few attorneys nationally are willing to take on, is a little known federal law called ERISA. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act, better known as ERISA, was enacted in 1974, which regulates employee group health, life and disability benefit plans.

ERISA severely limits certain types of damages, which often discourages many plaintiff attorneys. However, DarrasLaw’s dedication to people battling insurance companies while also facing debilitating injury or chronic sickness created the nation’s most honored and decorated disability insurance law firm.

“Billion dollar insurance companies with armies of lawyers and seemingly unlimited resources only make me work harder” said Mr. Darras. “Disability insurance companies like Minnesota Mutual, Hartford, Aetna, Prudential and many others regularly take advantage of the disabled with a ‘beat them up, wear them down, and starve them out’ claim strategy. In many cases, these long-term care policies are denied and ignored. We make it our priority to provide our clients with justice they need and deserve.”

While the average long-term disability insurance lawyer may handle 30-50 cases in a year, DarrasLaw sees thousands of denials each month from all across the country. Real time case management allows DarrasLaw to see what insurers are doing across America on a daily basis and help the disabled quickly restore their benefits.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Group and Individual Long-Term Disability Insurance

Millions of hard working Americans have been recently impacted by COVID-19. Frontline doctors, nurses, ER technicians, dentists, office workers, warehouse employees and more have been reaching out to DarrasLaw. DarrasLaw has been fielding thousands of calls from people needing to file short and long-term disability insurance claims as a result of this pandemic. Some of these individuals have contracted COVID-19 while others are suffering PTSD, along with other serious and debilitating mental nervous disorders.

“Americans are experiencing an unprecedented time in our nation’s history. Many employees are being asked to work harder and in more dangerous conditions than they ever thought possible,” said Mr. Darras. “We are currently representing many people who have been infected, exposed to or otherwise impacted by COVID-19.”

Unemployment benefits are sometimes the wrong option for people due to their injuries or sickness, which creates an inability to return to work. Disability insurance claims are often the best and right option.”

College and Professional Sports Claims

In addition to Mr. Darras’ work in group long-term disability and individual privately purchased disability insurance, he works with athletes and sports teams on their disability insurance issues. Mr. Darras assists athletes, their families, agents, colleges and universities and professional sports teams with long-term disability insurance issues, including those who are currently involved in COVID-19 pandemic. Legal outlets continue to reach out to Mr. Darras on this topic, including the Daily Journal, Law360, the SEC Radio and others on the disability insurance issues facing professional and college athletes during this pandemic.
