About J Price McNamara - Disability, Life, AD&D Insurance Attorneys

J Price McNamara operates out of 829 Baronne St in New Orleans, Louisiana, focusing on a specific and often overlooked area of law: disputes with insurance companies over disability, life, and accidental death and dismemberment benefits. Many people who become disabled or who lose a loved one unexpectedly discover that their insurance company has denied or delayed a legitimate claim. This firm exists to fight those denials, holding insurers accountable under the terms of their own policies and applicable law, including ERISA for employer-sponsored plans. In addition to insurance disputes, J Price McNamara is listed under Personal Injury Law on Yelp, reflecting a broader capacity to handle cases where someone has been hurt due to another party's negligence. The New Orleans office is centrally located in the city, making it accessible to clients from across the metro area. While the firm does not currently have Yelp ratings or reviews published, its specific focus on insurance claim denials fills an important gap for policyholders who feel they have been wrongly treated by their insurers.

J Price McNamara helps clients who have had legitimate insurance claims denied, delayed, or underpaid by their insurance companies. This includes long-term and short-term disability policies, whether purchased individually or provided through an employer.

What to Expect

When you contact J Price McNamara, the initial focus will be on understanding your insurance policy, the nature of your claim, and the reason given for any denial or delay.

If your claim involves an employer-sponsored plan, ERISA rules may apply, and the firm will identify how those federal regulations affect your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of disability insurance cases does J Price McNamara handle?
The firm handles both short-term and long-term disability insurance claim denials and disputes. This includes policies purchased individually as well as group plans provided through an employer. If your insurer has denied your claim, terminated your benefits early, or is delaying a decision without good reason, the firm can review your situation.
What is an AD&D insurance claim and when do disputes arise?
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance pays benefits when someone dies or suffers a serious injury, such as the loss of a limb, due to an accident. Disputes often arise when insurers argue that a death was caused by illness rather than accident, or that the circumstances do not meet the policy's definition of a covered event. J Price McNamara handles these disputes and challenges wrongful denials.
Does this firm handle Social Security disability claims?
The firm's listed focus is on private disability insurance, life insurance, AD&D insurance disputes, and personal injury cases rather than Social Security Administration claims. If you are looking for help with a private insurance policy denial, this firm is well-suited to assist. For Social Security disability matters specifically, you may want to consult a firm that concentrates on SSA claims.
What is ERISA and how does it affect my disability insurance claim?
ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, governs most disability insurance plans offered through employers. It creates a specific set of rules for how claims must be handled and how appeals must be conducted, and it limits the types of remedies available to claimants. ERISA cases are procedurally complex, and having an attorney familiar with this area of federal law is important when appealing a denied employer-sponsored disability claim.
Does J Price McNamara also handle personal injury cases?
Yes, in addition to insurance disputes, the firm handles personal injury matters. If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence in New Orleans or elsewhere in Louisiana, the firm can discuss your options for recovering compensation.
How do I know if my insurance company wrongfully denied my claim?
Insurance companies are required to evaluate claims fairly and in accordance with the policy language. If your insurer denied your claim without a clear explanation, cited policy exclusions that do not seem to apply, or ignored medical evidence you submitted, those can be signs of a wrongful denial. J Price McNamara can review your denial letter and policy to give you a clearer picture of your legal options.
