$156,000 in Group Life Insurance Claim After Employment Coverage Ended

Enlarged settlement check for the $156,000 result

Life Claim represented the parents of a man who died one day after his employer-provided group life coverage ended. The policy, insured by The Hartford, paid two times his salary, about $152,000.

Families in this situation are often told there is nothing to claim because the employee was no longer covered. We fought the insurer on that position and got it overturned on a technicality.

The Hartford paid the full life insurance benefit with interest to our clients, a total of more than $156,000. The benefit was split equally between the two parents, so the check shown is the half paid to one parent.
