Lady Sues Aetna for Wrongly reviewing benefits claim

A Duke Energy worker is suing Aetna Life Insurance Company, claiming Aetna inaccurately terminated her long-term disability benefits claim.

Cindy Wright submitted a complaint on the day of March 30 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida blaming that the insurer violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

In accordance to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that, on the day of Feb. 27, 2016, she stopped getting the benefits claim owed to her under her long-term disability plan. As an outcome of the wrongly determination of her claim, she has suffered and will sustain to suffer loss of benefits. The plaintiff holds Aetna responsible because it allegedly unlawfully rejected and denied to pay her benefits and failed to accurately and adequately inquire the merits of her claim.

The plaintiff appeals a trial by jury and seeks reinstatement to the plan, payment of all charges and attorneys’ fees, interest and such other and further relief as the court deems fair and proper. She is represented by Cesar Gavidia and Gregory Michael Dell of Attorneys Dell & Schaefer Chartered in Hollywood.
