Donahue & Horrow LLP Prevails in Federal ERISA Disability Case Published by the Court, Strengthening Protections for Long-Haul COVID Claimants
Donahue & Horrow LLP has secured another published federal court victory. In this matter, we represented Austin Baltes, a Google Senior Software Engineer whose long-term disability benefits were wrongfully denied by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MetLife). The United States District Court for the Central District of California ruled that Mr. Baltes was “Totally Disabled” under the terms of Google’s ERISA-governed long-term disability plan, granting his Rule 52 motion and denying MetLife’s competing motion.
