DeSue v. Aetna Life Ins. Co., PICS Case No. 17-0207 (W.D. Pa. Feb. 9, 2017) Schwab. U.S. D.J. (10 pages).

Plaintiff sued insurer alleging ERISA violations relating to her long term disability benefits and court held that plaintiff's request for compensation resulting from the delay in paying benefits and the loss of income and retirement savings caused by the initial denial of her benefits constituted a harm that might be compensable under §1132(a)(3) so that her claims for denial of benefits and breach of fiduciary duty were not necessarily duplicative. Motion to dismiss denied.
