Did Prudential suppress, ignore, overlook or otherwise dispute the medical evidence that supports your disability claim?
There is a trend with Prudential Insurance Company of America and other disability insurers where claimants are being denied disability benefits because the insurer does not consider all the evidence.
In a disability claim, often there is evidence that supports either “side” of a case: some evidence may lean in favor of the insurance company’s denial, while other evidence might support the claimant’s justification for total disability.
The courts require that the insurance company takes into consideration all of the medical and vocational evidence submitted by the claimant. No matter what, the insurer must not “cherry pick” submitted evidence, or leave out records that might tilt the case in favor of the claimant, in their efforts to approve or deny benefits. When they do, that is abuse of discretion.
