Disability Claimant Is Judicially Estopped From Pursuing Benefits Claim

SALT LAKE CITY - A disability claimant is judicially estopped from pursuing a claim for long-term disability benefits because the claimant failed to disclose her interest in the disability policy as an asset in her bankruptcy filings, a Utah federal judge said Feb. 28 in granting the disability insurer's motion to dismiss (Dawna Lane v. Prudential Insurance Co., No. 17-998, D. Utah, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 33646).
