Attorneys for Unum Disability Claims

Unum Group, previously Paul Revere, Provident, and Unum Provident, is the largest disability insurance company in the world. With well over 10,000 employees, it’s easy to see why. Of course, with all of that size and power comes the unfortunate truth of Unum not paying claims, and it’s a regular occurrence.

There are a number of tactics used by Unum to deny your short term and long term disability claims. Some of these include changing policies after claims have been filed without the authorization or knowledge of policy holders, misreading medical records, arguing that a claim is a pre-existing condition, and using investigators or co-workers to discredit the claimant.

In fact, in 2002 they received public backlash after several plaintiffs’ lawyers brought forth Unum long term disability complaints due to their denial. Just a short two years later Unum entered into a RSA (regulatory settlement agreement) with insurance regulators in over 40 U.S. states. The RSA was related to the way Unum disability claims were handled, and required them to make significant changes within the company. These changes were to be reflected internally, and claim decisions after the effective date of the RSA were to be fully reexamined to ensure they were handled properly and justly.

Unum Denying Claims

Cases of Unum not paying disability claims can be found in plenty in forums all across the internet. Improper filing and handling of claims, not listening to doctor’s orders for people to not return to work, and claiming claimants are mentally ill and not physically disabled in order to drop them due to a loophole after two years are just a few of the many ways Unum denies claims.
