Life Insurance Policy Holder Denied Coverage, $102,000 Settlement

Settlement/Verdict: $102,000.00

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Slip and Fall
Client Injury: Death

Our client lost his wife after she fell at home, broke her ankle, had surgery. Less than 2 months later, she developed a blood clot in her leg that caused her death. She had an accident death & disability policy through her employer. After her death, the insurance company refused to pay because they claimed that the blood clot was caused by pre-existing health problems (muscular dystrophy and diabetes) rather than from her surgery. Cory Whalen presented medical reports and the death certificate to the insurance company showing that had she not broken her ankle, she would not have had surgery or developed the condition that caused her death. Mr. Whalen was able to obtain the full death benefits plus interest from the insurance company for our client.
