Bad faith insurance / personal injury attorney

Job Summary

I am a physician looking to file a bad faith, insurance claim against Unum.

I have been denied disability benefit of twenty four thousand dollars a month ($288,000 / year.) Unum's neurologist said that seizures were not caused by an automobile accident because a CT scan was negative. This is a spurious conclusion that has zero support in the medical literature. The development of seizures is a microscopic and metabolic process. It is not a structural brain lesion seen on a CT scan.

As an example of article after article, the Committee of the Head Injury Interdisciplinary Special Interest Group ofthe American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine 2023 said: "Neuroimaging is not necessary to diagnose mild TBI. Its primary clinical role is to rule out head and brain injuries that might require neurosurgical or other medical intervention in an acute setting."

Responsibilities

File a lawsuit against Unum, who is known to use a terminate litigate strategy against claimants.

In 2001, a Florida ophthalmologist, John Tedesco, obtained a $36.7 million bad faith verdict against Unum for its unfair claim’s tactics. The following year, a jury awarded California chiropractor Joan Hangarter, $7.7 million against Unum for bad faith claims handling. In 2003, a California ophthalmologic surgeon, Randall Chapman, prevailed over Unum and received a jury award of $31.7 million. The next year, in a case that was tried and re-tried, a Nevada jury awarded venture capitalist, G. Clinton Merrick, $60 million for Unum’s bad faith.

Requirements

This is a bad faith insurance claim. But, it is primarily rooted in a personal injury claim that addresses whether seizures were caused by an automobile accident.

Or did the seizures occur randomly .07 percent of the time. They occurr 2.4 of the time following mild traumatic brain injury.
