Schwartz, Conroy & Hack once again has taken on insurance giants Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company and Unum Group based on the insurers’ bad faith termination of a disability claim. In this case, our client’s inability to work as an internist was supported by clear statements by her psychologist, and a policy entitling her to coverage due to her inability to perform the material and substantial duties of her own occupation. The defendant-insurers, however, stopped paying her claim.
A Vermont court heard the case and denied the insurers’ motion for summary judgment finding that sufficient evidence of bad faith existed to warrant that the case go forward to trial where a jury will consider the bad faith claim and make findings on the plaintiff’s entitlement to benefits. Schwartz, Conroy & Hack will continue to fight hard on behalf of those disabled to assure that their valid claims are paid. The plaintiff is represented by Evan Schwartz, other team members of Schwartz, Conroy & Hack and Anita Rosenthal and Steven Dawson.
