Evan Schwartz, founder of Schwartz Law, was with the first law firm in the United States to bring a class action lawsuit against UnumProvident Corporation and its subsidiaries to stop and correct their illegal claims practices related to an ERISA case.
We completely defeated the insurance company’s motion to dismiss the Complaint, which was fully sustained by the U.S. District Court. To date, the firm is actively pursuing three class actions against UnumProvident and its subsidiaries.
The class action lawsuit seeks recovery for people who obtained their disability coverage through their employers. Many of those group insurance policies are governed by a federal law called “ERISA”.
Before starting the first case, we conducted many years of investigation and research into the practices of UnumProvident and its subsidiaries. Armed with our extensive knowledge of ERISA law and our many years of experience in conducting litigation on a large-scale basis, we commenced and pursued the largest ERISA disability class action lawsuit ever attempted.
Our legal Complaint, filed in the federal court in New York, was vigorously attacked by UNUMProvident’s lawyers, who attempted to get the case dismissed. We were successful in defeating UNUMProvident on each and every legal issue raised by them, with the court ordering that the class action proceed against the insurance company on all fronts.
