San Francisco UnumProvident Insurance Claims Attorney

Claims Against UnumProvident

UnumProvident is among many insurance companies that have recently been under scrutiny for engaging in insurance bad faith practices when it comes to handling long term disability claims. Policyholders may be unsure where to turn when a legitimate long term disability claim has been unfairly denied, delayed, or minimized.

At Delfino Green & Green, we use our knowledge of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) — which governs many types of employee benefit plans — when representing clients in long term disability insurance matters. We are familiar with the tactics used by UnumProvident and other companies in an effort to protect their own financial interests and not the health and well-being of policyholders. Our UnumProvident claims lawyers in San Francisco have handled many claims against UnumProvident and companies owned by the UnumProvident Corporation, including Provident, Revere, and the Unum Life Insurance Company of America.

We have also successfully fought against the following insurance providers, and more:

  • The Standard
  • Hartford
  • CIGNA
  • Prudential
  • Guardian
  • Sun Life
  • Penn Mutual
  • Assurity

After carefully evaluating your case, we can help you pursue an appeal of your long term disability claim that has been denied by Unum. If the appeal is denied, we can discuss whether litigation is a viable option. We will hold your insurance company to its obligations, backed by our in-depth knowledge of the law and vast experience in this area.

    Traumatic Brain Injury to Child A three year old child was being carried across the street when she was struck by an oncoming car.

  • $985,000 Traumatic Hand Injury

    Our client was working at a manufacturing plant. While operating a piece of machinery, his glove became caught in the machinery and part of his hand was severely injured. Ordinarily, this type of injury would be restricted to remedies available through Worker’s Compensation. However, through the knowledge, ingenuity, and creativity of our team of attorneys, we were also able to obtain a very substantial civil settlement for our client in addition to the workers comp settlement of his case.

  • $975,000 Aviation Death Settlement
    A husband and father of two small children was killed in an aviation accident involving a small aircraft. Our firm represented the widow and two children against the pilot of the aircraft. By hiring experts in aviation (to prove negligence) and economists (to prove damages), and utilizing William Green’s expertise as an instrument-rated pilot, we were able to make a very powerful case and obtain a very favorable settlement that allowed the family to survive financially.
  • $700,000 Forklift Accident
    A construction supervisor went to pick up some materials for a construction job. A worker at the yard neglected to set the parking brake on a piece of heavy equipment a few yards away. While the construction supervisor had his back turned, the machine rolled into him, pinning him against the side of his pick-up truck. He suffered several broken ribs, but that was the least of his injuries. Within several weeks of the accident, he had partially lost his sight. By working with medical experts, our firm was able to directly connect the sight loss to the injuries caused by the machine that rolled into our client. The case settled at Mediation without any need for a trial.
