In this video Marc Whitehead, a Board Certified Disability Attorney, explains how The Hartford’s use of Surveillance could affect your Long Term Disability Insurance Claim.
The Hartford insurance company is one of the largest providers and is also known for using video surveillance to deny disability claims for benefits. The surveillance can take place in a few says or sometime a few weeks. It is possible for The Hartford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on one claim, in order to conduct their secretive surveillance video in order to collect footage they feel support their denial of the claim.
Some people have expressed their curiosity regarding the legality of the surveillance. The truth is The Hartford is allowed to conduct surveillance any time you are in the public.
If you have an experienced disability Attorney on your side, this is not something to be concerned about. So long as you are not engaging in activities that contradict what your treating physician states you are unable to do. If your claim was denied because of video surveillance and you do not have an attorney, your next plan of attack should be to hire an attorney. An experienced Attorney will have the ability to show the surveillance is not relevant to the requirements of working any job for eight hours a day.
Claimants are most often successful when they have the help of a strong representative from an experienced disability law firm.
