The Consequences of a “Bad Faith” Disability Insurance Claim Denial
Q: What happens if a disability insurance claim is denied in “bad faith”?
Sometimes, karma happens.
In a perfect world, a person with long term disability insurance (“LTD”) would submit a valid claim with sufficient medical documentation in support and it would be approved. The financially-vulnerable (and now-disabled) insured would benefit from having had the good fortune and/or foresight of obtaining LTD insurance in healthier days either through an employer plan or a private policy.
