Case Details
Defendant insurance carrier, a nationwide provider of longterm disability insurance, refused to pay a disability claim brought by our client. The client was disabled due to severe emotional problems which began in childhood, but became debilitating later in life. The client was a self-employed professional who purchased the policy specifically to protect against the loss of income in the event of disability.
Additional Notes
The policy covered mental and emotional disabilities, but the insurance company refused to pay the claim, arguing that the emotional and mental problems of the client were not severe enough to be disabling. Settlement was reached at private mediation which avoided the trauma the client would have experienced in going through a protracted trial. The insurance company agreed to pay $1,000,000 more than the total of the disability benefits through the balance of the client’s work life expectancy.
