Massachusetts residents that have had their disability insurance benefits denied can file a lawsuit in the Massachusetts District Court Department, Superior Court Department or the Boston Municipal Court Department under a limited set of circumstances. Massachusetts’s state appellate courts includes the Appeals Court and the Supreme Judicial Court. If the disability claimant resides in Massachusetts and the disability insurance company is located in a different state, and the amount of disability benefits payable is greater than $75,000, then the lawsuit can be filed in Massachusetts Federal District Court. If the disability insurance policy is an employer provided policy governed by ERISA, then the disability claim must be filed in federal court. Massachusetts has one Federal District Court. An ERISA governed disability claim denial lawsuit can usually be filed in any state that the insurance company conducts business. According to the Massachusetts Department of Insurance there are more than 1,200 insurance companies that sell insurance products in Massachusetts.
