Ninth Circuit Affirms Judgment in Favor of Unum in Lawsuit Challenging Denial of ERISA Disability Benefit Claim In Perez v. Unum Life Insurance Company of America, No. 22-16652, 2023 WL 7675458 (9th Cir. Nov. 15, 2023), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s judgment in favor of Defendant-Appellee Unum Life Insurance Company in a lawsuit challenging its termination of Plaintiff’s long-term disability benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Reviewing the district court’s findings for clear error, and interpreting Unum’s insurance policy de novo, the court found no basis to overturn the judgment in favor of Unum.
