Submit a Strong Appeal or File a Lawsuit

Next, our Unum attorneys will help you gather any necessary evidence to build a strong appeal that responds to each aspect of your insurer’s rejection.

Evidence for your appeal may include:

  • Additional or updated medical records detailing the severity of your condition
  • Opinions from experts who can confirm your diagnosis and its impact on your ability to work
  • Records from your employer that document how your condition affects your job performance
  • Statements from your coworkers or loved ones showing how your disability impacts you daily

If Unum continues to deny your claim and rejects the appeal, our team is prepared to file a lawsuit against the insurance company to seek out the money you’re owed.
