Mistick v. Unum Life
Insurance Company of America

 

 
 

We challenged Unum Life Insurance Company for unjustly terminating our client’s long-term disability benefits.

Despite being paid under an “own occupation” provision initially, Unum ceased payments when the policy switched to an “any gainful occupation” definition, claiming our client could perform sedentary work. We fought back, highlighting discrepancies in Unum’s decision-making process, including reliance on file-reviewing doctors who never physically examined our client. Ultimately, the court sided with us, reinstating our client’s benefits.

Read the full legal summary to uncover the intricacies of this case and the legal strategies employed by our team to secure justice for our client.
