NEW YORK, April 8, 2005 – We obtained an important decision in one of the three class actions.
The decision was recently featured on the front page of the New York Law Journal (3/28/2005).
The article highlights the recent decision as a “Decision of Interest” and includes the full text version of the decision.
In this class action, we are pursuing a reassessment of all claims denied or terminated by UnumProvident under insurance policies issued by any of the following: New York Life, John Hancock Life, The Equitable, National Life of Vermont, General American Life, and others. These other companies hired UnumProvident to administer their entire book of disability claims and, subsequently, make those claims decisions.
UnumProvident used the same illegal claims practices in denying and terminating these claims as they did with their own claims as issued by Paul Revere, UnumProvident, and Unum.
