Provident Unum Disability Insurance
We buy disability insurance for peace of mind, knowing that it will replace lost income if we are suddenly unable to work. We rely on these benefits for ourselves and for our families.
But it has now come to light that disability benefits that were paid for in good faith may have been fraudulently denied by Unum Provident Insurance Company and its subsidiaries.
Unum Provident Insurance Company has been accused of unfairly denying claims and cutting off benefits. Provident’s unfair handling of disability claims has been the subject of news reports on 60 Minutes, Dateline, The Wall Street Journal and other news sources. According to these sources, it is alleged that Unum Provident engaged in a pattern to systematically deny disability claims.
Unum sells policies through subsidiary companies such as Unum Life Insurance Company of America, Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company, The Paul Revere Life Insurance Company (Paul Revere Life) and Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company (Colonial), Gene and Duncanson & Holt. Unum Provident is also the agent handling disability claims under MetLife (Metropolitan Life), John Hancock, New England Life, and Equitable Insurance policies.
