Partner Michael McClaren successfully defended a local Health Insurer against a lawsuit claiming that certain health insurance claims were improperly denied. Plaintiff commenced the action for breach of contract in state court following the denial of reimbursement claims under a group health benefits plan. The case was subsequently removed to Federal Court under ERISA. Webster Szanyi successfully argued to the Court that its client was entitled to summary judgment, arguing that the claims at issue were not covered under the Plaintiff’s insurance policy, and that a deferential standard of review was applicable under ERISA.
