Houston Insurance Claim Lawyer: client incorrectly denied ERS benefits


Posted on Feb 05, 2010

Sergeant Thomas L. Keen was a 35-year veteran with the Harris County Sheriff's Office ("HCSO").  He sustained fatal injuries the day after Hurricane Ike struck the Houston and surrounding areas.  His surviving wife claimed survivor benefits from ERS.  This state agency denied her benefits.

Mrs. Keen hired the Houston Insurance Claim Lawyers at V&B to handle her appeal.  V&B attorneys handled the case in which fifteen depositions were taken of different witnesses.  V&B lawyers presented Mrs. Keen's case at trial to the Administrative Law Judge in Austin, Texas.

The Judge has entered a Proposal for Decision that ERS incorrectly denied Mrs. Keen the survivor benefits, and that the benefits should be paid to her.

This matter is not yet final, however, V&B and Mrs. Keen are very pleased with the current ruling.
