Get Started:
Unum disability insurance is held by hundreds of thousands of individuals in the U.S., in individual and group (employer-provided) policies. The purpose of disability insurance is to provide money that replaces some or all of the income lost when an employee is unable to work due to a disability (e.g., an accident, illness or maternity leave, and whether short-term or long-term).
Unum offers a variety of disability insurance forms:
Unum (and its earlier incarnation, UnumProvident and subsidiaries such as Provident Life) doesn’t like to talk about the times that they deny disability benefits to claimants. The companies maintain that they have a careful and fair system for granting benefits to deserving policyholders, and that many individuals try to "scam" disability insurance providers. Although it's true that some people do fake injuries or illnesses to falsely obtain disability payments, a larger concern is the number of people who have been unfairly denied disability benefits by Unum.
The denial by Unum of disability benefits has left thousands of individuals without the financial assistance that they desperately need. Fortunately, in the early 2000s, the insurance commissioners or regulatory agencies of all 50 states and the District of Columbia examined the claims-handling practices of the three disability insurers owned by UnumProvident:
As a result, these three companies eventually agreed to change their claims-handling practices and — in a significant coup by the insurance regulators — to reassess a specific group of long-term disability claims from as far back as 1997.
If you are at or past the stage in which you have completed a Unum disability claim form, it's a good idea to consult an attorney who is knowledgeable about Unum's bad faith record. Protect your rights — arrange a free consultation with our Unum lawyers.
