Hartford LTD Denial Reversed for Dentist
Founded 200 years ago, The Hartford Financial Services is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States and is a leading carrier of short term and long-term disability insurance. Our experienced disability attorneys represent Hartford LTD denial claims at the appeal and lawsuit stages of disability claims.
Recently, we represented a Dentist from Texas with severe back and spinal issues, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and a complete shoulder replacement in her appeal of Hartford’s decision to deny her claim for long term disability (LTD) benefits.

Our firm recently filed an ERISA lawsuit, on behalf of our New York client after The Hartford determined that, after paying long term disability benefits for over 3 years due to her diagnosis of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis, she no longer met the Plan’s definition of disability and was no longer eligible for continued benefits. The New York court reviewed the administrative record and found that The Hartford had abused its discretion in denying our client’s claim.
