Has Cigna denied your long Term Disability Insurance Claim?
Hi I'm Marc Whitehead a Board Certified Disability Insurance Lawyer.
Cigna Disbaility claims denials continue to be the subject of many federal lawsuits.
A World Wide provider of insurance, Cigna Health Insurance Company
markets products ranging from medical, dental, and life insurance
to employer provided short and long term disability group plans.
Their disability insurances is provided by Cigna Group Insurance
and is underwritten and affiliated with companies such
as Life Insurance Company of Northern America.
Almost all employer provided disability insurance plans are subject
to federal legislation called ERISA
Most Cigna disability claims fall into this category.
Many attorneys are not trained in the complexities of ERISA governed claims.
The legal process is quiet different from insurance claims
that are governed under state insurance law.
In fact, there are many unfortunate downsides of ERISA.
One negative aspect of the law is that it give insurance companies

immunity from bad faith claims.
Like all Insurance companies Cigna has financial goals.
Insurance providers are in the business to be profitable
ERISA has made it so that there is little incentive
for insurance companies to play by the rules.
If an insurance provider resorts to unfair practices
with the goal of rejecting your claim,
There is no punishment under ERISA
All they would have to pay, is what they would have
had to pay in the first place
It's been frequently alleged in litigation that deceptive practices may be
used by the major players in the insurance industry.

There are serious disadvantages for you.
