Commentator Takes Aim at Insurers Acting as Claims Administrators Under ERISA
For those interested in reading a decidedly anti-insurer ERISA article published in the Utah Law Journal last September, take a look at “ERISA: License to Cheat, Lie, and Steal for the Disability Insurance Industry,” authored by Loren M. Lambert. In it, Lambert argues that ERISA “has created a brutal, arbitrary, and inefficient administrative process controlled by the insurance industry.” According to Kantor & Kantor, Lambert is finishing the final editing on a 25-minute documentary that follows one of his clients through the process of attempting to obtain her disability benefits. It will not be hard imagine what conclusions he will reach in this documentary.
