Sun Life Could Not Simply Ignore Social Security Award
Posted on Nov 17, 2009
Sun life lost a case involving rheumatoid arthritis. The court pointed to a favorable social security disability determination and found that since the insurer had encouraged the plaintiff's application it could not simply ignore the award of benefits. The court also was critical of the insurance company's reliance on a file review rather than an examination.

Testimonials
- Congratulations on having been selected by your peers for inclusion in the 2011 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®
- This is our first experience meeting with a lawyer. Surprisingly, our meeting with Ben went so well. It was very informative and educational.
- We were deeply touched by your kindness.
- I contacted Attorney Ben Glass's office and franticly spoke to his assistant Terry. We had a little more than two weeks to challenge my LTD provider's threat to offset my LTD disability payments by the amount of a recent settlement I had received on a Worker's Compensation claim - the claim was settled outside of the Worker's Compensation system.
- I want to thank you and your staff for all your hard work in 2009. I greatly appreciate your efforts on my wife's disability appeal. Your staff worked hard, is very talented and your ethical approach was readily apparent.
