All across America, people of all ages buy disability insurance to substitute the loss of income in the event that they become incapable of working as the result of a disability or serious illness. Unum Provident is the largest disability insurance company in the United States, having in excess of 17 million customers. Within the last five years, Unum Provident has been in the news as the result of accusations of insurance bad faith by denying the reasonable claims of its customers and not honoring its contracts with customers.

In recent testimony, it was alleged that the company denied legitimate disability insurance claims by customers who deserved to receive insurance benefits. The former employees claimed that in order to increase company profits, the employees were told to deny valid claims.

Some divisions of Unum Providents disability insurance include:

• Paul Revere Life Insurance Company
• Provident Life and Casualty Insurance Company
• First Unum Life Insurance Company
• Unum Life Insurance Company of America
• Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company

Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Unum Provident for unjust insurance denial, with many of the cases being settled out of court. Large class actions lawsuits have also been filed against the company by plaintiffs who have experienced similar treatment by Unum Provident.
