Non-ERISA Cases

Some individuals are covered under a disability policy that is not governed by ERISA or alternately, you made the fortunate choice of purchasing your own disability insurance.  The exceptions noted here and private disability policies are governed by state law.  Washington state law provides much more protection for policyholders.

For example, Washington, like many other states, has laws that are specifically intended to protect the rights of policyholders to sue insurance companies that unreasonably deny benefits. Insurance bad faith law provides many important and powerful tools to protect policyholders against abusive conduct by insurance companies.
