Getting Screwed By Your Insurance Company - One Woman Claims That Her Marriage Was Destroyed
As a Philadelphia catastrophic injury lawyer who has been battling insurance companies since 1979, I am familiar with the hardball tactics of insurance companies and their multiple attempts to “screw” their insureds. Taking this literally, I can not help but chuckle when I reviewed a story entitled, “Two Million Dollar Lawsuit Blames Insurer for Couple’s Breakup.” The article alleged that a woman launched a two million dollar lawsuit against an insurance company due to the fact she claims her marriage was destroyed after one of its employees ended up in bed with her husband. The woman launched a two million dollar lawsuit against Great West Life Insurance Company and a former senior benefits representative claiming that the company was negligent and failed to supervise its employee properly. The Superior Court Judge stated that this was novel issue which deserved a proper hearing and added that the courts have decided that insurance company employees can be sued for negligence in dealings with clients. Through his lawyer, the husband of the distressed wife alleges that the claims in the lawsuit are “false and unfounded.”
