Join us for today's CCK ERISA short, where we discuss the legal repercussions of bad faith in LTD claims. When an insurance company is found guilty of acting in bad faith in a long-term disability claim, it may be subject to serious legal consequences beyond the benefits it denied. In this short, we talk about some of these consequences. We also discuss how such cases are governed, which may affect the legal repercussions your insurer would face.

Long-term disability benefits can help protect a person's pre-disability earnings when they become unable to work due to a medical condition. If the individual can prove that their condition disables them under the terms of their policy, i.e., the definition of disability, then they should receive these all-important disability benefits. Unfortunately, insurance companies frequently deny LTD claims, and some, though not all, cases go to litigation.
