Court Cases and Decisions
 
Very few of our cases proceed to a full written determination by a court.  Frequently, an insurance company or claim administrator will overturn its own claim denial after we have requested reconsideration through an internal appeal or attorney's letter.  If the insurer or claim administrator reaches a final determination and has refused to overturn its denial or termination of benefits, it may become necessary to file a lawsuit.
 
Throughout the years, we have represented our clients in such lawsuits.  These lawsuits often settle before the court renders a final determination - sometimes after a complaint has been filed, a preliminary conference with a judge has been held, or after motions to the court have been briefed.  A small percentage of cases, however, are not settled and result in a full written disposition by the court.  
 
Brief summaries of such dispositions which we have obtained for our clients (and downloadable copies of the written decisions themselves) can be accessed through the following links:
