The case had drawn attention as another example of the legal scrutiny facing disability insurers accused of improperly denying legitimate claims.
While the outcome remains confidential, the dismissal signals that both sides have closed a contentious chapter — one that began with a devastating workplace injury and ended with a private resolution behind courtroom doors.
