Legal Battle Unfolds
Slice’s lawsuit contains a single count of breach of contract, seeking:
- A court declaration affirming her right to continued disability benefits
- Recovery of unpaid benefits from September 2022 onward
- Attorney fees and additional relief deemed appropriate by the court
Her attorney, M. Leila Louzri of Foster Law Firm LLC, is leading the charge against Reliance Standard. Counsel for the insurer was not immediately available for comment, and representatives for both parties have remained silent on the matter.
What’s Next?
The case now moves to the courtroom, where Slice will attempt to prove that Reliance Standard’s abrupt decision to terminate her benefits was not only unjust but also a breach of its contractual obligations.
With potential implications for policyholders nationwide, this lawsuit could shine a spotlight on the practices of disability insurers and whether they truly stand by their commitments—or abandon claimants when it’s no longer convenient.
