Court Awards Pilot Attorney's Fees and Reinstates his Benefits
Posted on Dec 22, 2008
A Virginia federal district court reinstated Christopher McIntyre's long-term disabilty benefits and awarded him attorney's fees after AETNA had terminated his benefits. McIntyre's diabetes had prevented him from passing the physical exam required by the FAA. However, because he then started a screenprinting business, AETNA terminated his benefits.
The Court ruled that McIntyre was entitled to a reading of the contract under the special provisions for pilots, rather than the general disability definition. Read the full opinion here.
