Montana Federal Judge Awards Disability Claimant Attorney Fees

BILLINGS, Mont. - A Montana federal judge on Oct. 23 granted a disability claimant's motion for more than $28,000 in attorney fees because the claimant prevailed on her claim for disability benefits and the disability insurer failed to file a response to the claimant's motion (Theresa Sand-Smith v. Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, No. 17-0004, D. Mont., 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 175177).
