Insurer's Termination Of Disability Benefits Was Reasonable Based On Evidence

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A disability insurer did not act in bad faith in terminating an insured's benefits, a federal judge in California said July 23 after determining that based on the insured's misrepresentations about her ability to work, the insurer had a reasonable basis to terminate the benefits (Devra Bommarito v. The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co., et al., No. 15-1187, E.D. Calif., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 122853).
