Why Elizabeth Clients Choose The Lassen Law Firm

Life Insurance Litigation Only
We do not handle personal injury, auto accidents, or unrelated legal matters. Our practice is limited to life insurance disputes, giving us deep insight into insurer denial tactics and policy interpretation.

Attorney Level Representation
Clients work directly with a lawyer from the beginning. Your case is never handed off to intake teams or nonlawyer staff.

New Jersey Experience With National Reach
We handle individual and group life insurance claims across New Jersey, including ERISA governed employer plans, beneficiary conflicts, lapse denials, accidental death claims, and interpleader actions.

Common Life Insurance Disputes We Handle in Elizabeth

Misrepresentation Allegations
Insurers often review applications after a death and claim inaccuracies. We challenge denials based on immaterial or unrelated information that does not meet New Jersey legal standards.

Lapse and Nonpayment Claims
Many lapse denials fail because insurers did not send required notices, misapplied premiums, or ignored grace period protections.

Beneficiary Disputes
Elizabeth claims frequently involve former spouses, blended families, missing paperwork, or last minute beneficiary changes. We represent beneficiaries in both direct disputes and interpleader actions.

Policy Exclusions
We challenge denials involving exclusions such as suicide, alcohol, or alleged illegal activity, especially when insurers stretch policy language beyond what New Jersey law allows.

How We Help Elizabeth and Union County Beneficiaries

Our approach is direct, strategic, and aggressive when necessary. We:

Communicate directly with the insurance company and control the claim narrative.

Push back against improper document requests and delay tactics.

File lawsuits in the Union County Superior Court or the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey when insurers refuse to pay.

Our objective is to recover the full policy amount as efficiently and fairly as possible.
