Synopsis
Joan Hangarter bought a disability insurance policy to protect her should she ever become seriously ill. She dutifully paid her annual premiums for nearly a decade. But when she became disabled, she and her children found themselves homeless and bankrupt when her insurer, UnumProvident, stopped paying her benefits. With the help of her attorneys Hangarter won a landmark $7.7 million jury verdict, which was unanimously upheld by the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Seller: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Fair. You pay insurance companies to protect you in case of tragedy, Through the landmark $7.7 million verdict in the Joan Hangarter case-and through the compelling stories of people like Susan McGregor, Stuart Gluck, John Tedesco, Laurie Hindiyeh, Eugene Molfino, Julie Guyton, John Montano, Rosemary Wright, Michael Baldwin, Margaret Santana, Gary Brazina, and many others-Ray and Matthew Bourhis show how the insurance industry runs roughshod over the very people it is paid to protect. They also show how the industry has become so insulated from accountability that neither lawsuits, punitive damage awards, federal court injunctions, seven-figure fines, newspaper headlines, nor television exposure has derailed their determined efforts to turn a profit at any cost. The authors paint a frightening picture of how the US Congress and Supreme Court have enabled this conduct to continue unchecked, and they provide a sorely needed road map to reform. Book jacket.
