About The Hartford Financial Services Group
Founded 200 years ago, The Hartford Financial Services is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Now a Fortune 100 company, The Hartford is a global provider of group and employee benefits, life insurance, business insurance, auto and homeowners insurance, as well as several investment products. It is a multi-billion dollar company.
As part of The Hartford’s expansion of its group benefits business, in 2004 The Hartford purchased CNA’s group disability business, as well as CNA’s group life and accident services.
A look at The Hartford Disability Claims Denial Process
The claims denial process used by The Hartford reflects a pattern that continues to be the subject of disputes. Many federal lawsuits throughout the United States allege wrongful conduct by this insurance company in their handling of disability claims.
- Claimants are faced with continuing requests for medical records,
followed by unreasonable delays on the part of The Hartford to make a
decision.
- Policyholders frequently allege that The Hartford resorts to
surveillance and other invasive investigations in order to capture claimants
in actions that could in some way be used to substantiate The Hartford
disability claims denial or termination of benefits.
- Disputes are common with allegations that The Hartford uses physicians
paid by The Hartford to review and evaluate a claimant’s medical records;
allegations against The Hartford also state the company uses adjusters to
take the statements of disability victims in a manner unbeneficial to the
victim.
- Disability claims are frequently denied by The Hartford the first time around, only to be approved once the victim retains a disability attorney to fight on their behalf.
