Unfortunately, insurance companies act in bad faith more often than one would like to believe. While Prudential would state otherwise, as Louisiana long-term disability lawyers, we regularly see Prudential cut corners by either delaying or denying long-term disability (LTD) claims.
One way they cut corners is by stating that claimants haven’t completed all of their paperwork or that their medical records are incomplete.
It’s more profitable in the long run for insurers to delay claims rather than paying them in a timely manner.
By giving policyholders the runaround, dragging their feet, denying LTD claims outright, or convincing policyholders to settle claims for less money, insurers bank on you not putting up much of a fight.
We DO THE RIGHT THING
The correct choice – always – is to do the right thing.

Prudential—along with other billion-dollar long-term disability insurance companies know they can increase profits by denying legitimate claims. These companies get so big because their #1 asset is their bottom line, not their customers.
Prudential has a financial incentive to deny its policyholders’ claims for disability payments. In fact, most claims are denied during the initial review process.
Prudential has a well-documented history of wrongfully denying claims for LTD benefits.
As recently as 2018, they were charged with unfairly terminating a policyholder’s monthly benefits while they were still unable to work due to an illness, injury, or disability.
The case of Paquin v. The Prudential Insurance Company of America found that Prudential’s termination of LTD benefits was wrongful.
If you feel that your Prudential LTD claim was wrongfully denied or think that they are using delay tactics until you are too sick, too disabled, or too strapped financially to fight back, you may want to seek the advice of a local attorney.
