Case: Health Care & Benefits/Pleadings (D.S.C.)

The District of South Carolina granted in part and denied in part Guardian Life Insurance of America’s motion to dismiss an employee’s breach of contract, bad faith, improper claim practices, and ERISA action related to long-term disability benefits. The court said it is unclear from the current record whether the statute of limitations is applicable, and that the employee’s claim for statutory penalties applies only to plan administrators.
