Court Confirms Serious Disability Insurance Unfair Claims Practices of Unum and Paul Revere

By North Carolina Insurance Claim Attorney Thomas W. Pleasant. Clinton Merrick sued Paul Revere Life Insurance Company, Unumprovident Corporation (doing business as Unum Life Insurance Company of America and Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company) over disability insurance benefits. The case has a long history, but recently came to fruition through a United States District Court decision (in NV), whereby the judge affirmed a recent verdict in favor of Mr. Merrick, and apparently actually increased the verdict to the constitutional 9:1 ratio (between compensatory and punitive damages), up to a total of $26,394,765. The case was handled by Friedman Rubin & White, excellent insurance lawyers who handle insurance bad faith and unfair claims practices cases accross the country. I have had the pleasure of working with these folks, and can attest to their skill.
