With us
Our clients are in crisis:
Their health is compromised, they can no longer work in the professions they love, and now their disability income benefits are in jeopardy.
That’s where Springer Ayeni can help.
Since 2002, Cassie Springer Ayeni has dedicated her Orinda East Bay Area practice to helping people secure disability insurance benefits owed under employee benefit insurance plans.
ERISA Benefit Claims
All employee benefits plans are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), a complex area of the law requiring expertise for success. Cassie has that expertise in spades.
Springer Ayeni also handles denied life insurance benefit claims for clients throughout California, including one claim where the employer’s negligent mailing error resulted in a missed premium payment shortly before the claimant passed away. Cassie fought successfully for the rights of his children to receive the life insurance benefit they were entitled to under ERISA
