Panel Vacates, Remands Disability Award For Recalculation Of Benefits

ATLANTA - A district court did not err in determining that a disability claimant abandoned his bad faith claims against a disability insurer, but the court did err in interpreting the disability insurer's continuity of coverage policy provision, the 11th U.S. Court of Appeals said July 10 in vacating and remanding an award of benefits for recalculation (Wayne Torpy v. Unum Life Insurance Company of America, No. 17-14722, 11th Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 18669).
