Unum is a huge insurance company, in the range of the so-called "too big to fail" companies in the U.S. For example, this public company had assets of nearly $40 billion in late 1999 when it merged with Provident, and its sales for just the fiscal year ending in December 2008 were almost $10 billion.

In fact, thousands of individuals have had their Unum disability claims unfairly denied, resulting in a great deal of hardship and anguish among people who thought that their Unum policies were going to protect them in their time of need. Forty-eight state insurance commissioners reached an agreement with Unum in 2005 regarding the company's alleged bad-faith practices, and Unum agreed to re-open some 200,000 denied insurance claims.
