Unum's History of Bad Faith

Long term disability claims were the subject of several regulatory settlements back in 2004 and 2005, which were based on an evaluation of claims from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Since then, Unum has worked hard to address regulatory uncertainty surrounding its claims practices.
