Unum Provident may have wrongfully denied disability insurance coverage to its policy holders.

Investigation and multiple similar lawsuits against Unum Provident for its wrongful denial of disability insurance coverage.

Unum Provident is the largest disability insurance company, providing disability insurance for more than 17 million Americans. Unfortunately, for their policyholders, Unum has denied legitimate claims from seriously ill customers... a corporate strategy that is designed for one purpose - to boost profits. Many Americans have faithfully had money deducted from their paychecks to pay for disability insurance. They rely on this insurance to cover them in the event that they become disabled and cannot work, however, many people might be in for a rude awakening if they hold an insurance policy through Unum Provident. A multitude of employees have come forth to talk to media and to attorneys about the tragic situation that occurs on a regular basis within the walls of the Unum claims department.

The investigation to date uncovered evidence suggests that Unum Provident has implemented a nationwide scheme to deny policyholders disability benefits in an effort to save money and increase corporate profits. What's more, several former UnumProvident in-house physicians have testified that they were encouraged to review insured claimants' medical records and state that the insured was not disabled so that UnumProvident could deny disability benefits, regardless of the condition of the insured. Several former claims adjusters have testified that it was corporate policy to create reasons to deny claims, and that they were instructed how to do this without exposing their companies to liability if sued in a court of law. Unum Provident Corporation is a holding company for several insurance companies. Its corporate headquarters is in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
