Bad Faith Insurance Claim Denials in Missouri, Kansas and Southern Ilinois
When you bought your disability insurance, it was because you had one thing in mind-to prevent financially ruin should you become disabled. You worked hard. You paid your premiums. You expected that, if you became disabled, your insurance company would help you, just as they promised.
So Why Are They Treating You Like a Criminal?
A claim on a disability policy should not be adversarial. Yet many insurance companies have wrongfully denied long-term disability claims to the very people they were supposed to protect. Sometimes, the companies will delay paying premiums for years, claiming the loss of medical records and subjecting innocent policy holders to sham medical exams. Some carriers accused of this sort of fraud include:
- UnumProvident
- Unum Life Insurance Company of America
- The Paul Revere Life Insurance Company
- Provident Life and Casualty Insurance Company
- Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company
- First Unum Life Insurance Company
When an insurance company denies or delays paying a legitimate claim for no reason, it may be acting in bad faith. In such cases it may be liable not only for the claim itself, but for "punitive damages." Punitive damages punish a company for its deliberate, wrongful actions.
