The plaintiffs in the case are Lorraine and Charles Bates, Eileen Burk and David Youngbluth.
According to Bates, Bankers Life claimed the adult foster home Bates moved into in 2009 didn’t match policy requirements. The Oregon Insurance Division, however, said in 2011 that Bankers would pay her claim, 19 months after she first filed it.
David Youngbluth decided to take legal action after trying to file a claim for his mother in 2008, who moved into assisted living after a fall. According to Youngbluth, Bankers still owes him three months’ worth of unpaid benefits.
The suit is currently seeking a judge’s approval to represent a class of 9,000 people in the state of Oregon. For more information about the case and to read the blog post, click the preceding link.
