Law Firm of Quadrino & Schwartz Announces Launch of Website to Assist UnumProvident Policyholders with Getting Denied Disability Claims Reconsidered

UnumProvident's Decision to Re-examine 215,000 Previously Denied Claims May Have an Impact on Thousands of Disabled Persons - Firm Encourages Policyholders to Seek Legal Representation

NEW YORK, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Quadrino & Schwartz announces the launch of http://www.unumprovidentclassaction.net/, a website dedicated to helping UnumProvident (NYSE:UNM) policyholders get their long- term disability insurance claims fully and fairly considered. On November 18, UnumProvident announced that it will reconsider over 200,000 previously denied claims as a result of a multistate investigation into the company's practices. UnumProvident is the largest provider of disability insurance in the country. Starting in the mid-1990s, the company came under fire for its alleged practice of systematically denying and terminating legitimate disability claims in order to boost profits. Quadrino & Schwartz urges UnumProvident policyholders to seek legal representation as their claims are re-evaluated to ensure a fair claims handling process.

"It is important for policyholders and plan beneficiaries to continue to seek legal representation regarding any re-evaluation by UnumProvident," said Richard Quadrino, founding partner of Quadrino & Schwartz. "The process is a legal minefield loaded with traps which we believe still benefit the Company, not the claimant," he added. "We will not stop fighting for the rights of the disabled until UnumProvident treats all of its disabled policyholders fairly."

Quadrino & Schwartz has represented hundreds of disabled people who have had their long-term disability claims unfairly denied. Quadrino & Schwartz was the first long-term disability insurance law firm in the United States to bring a class action lawsuit against UnumProvident, Unum, Paul Revere, First Unum, Provident Life, and other UnumProvident subsidiaries to stop and correct their dishonest disability claims practices. Two class action lawsuits have been filed, the first seeking recovery for people who obtained their disability coverage through their employers, and the second seeking relief for those who purchased their own disability policies.

Policyholders who had a disability claim denied or terminated at any time after January 1, 1997 by UnumProvident, Paul Revere Life Insurance Company, First Unum Life Insurance Company, Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company, Provident Life and Casualty Insurance Company, or Unum Life Insurance Company of America may visit http://www.unumprovidentclassaction.net/ or http://www.disabilityinsurancelawyers.com/ to receive a free initial case evaluation.
