Stueve Siegel Hanson's Patrick Stueve on his starring role in Bezich v. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company
Peter Bezich was surfing the web to find answers to a question he had about his insurance policy when he came across Stueve Siegel Hanson in Kansas City, Missouri.
“He saw that we were investigating overcharges for cost of insurance coverage [in two cases] and called us,” says business litigator Patrick Stueve.
Bezich, Stueve says, purchased a $200,000 permanent variable life policy – Lincoln’s Financial’s “Ensemble II.”
“What he didn’t understand at the time he purchased the policy is that under the cost of insurance coverage [COI] – which is based on age, sex classification and health to determine mortality risk – [Lincoln National Life Insurance] was adding undisclosed hidden loads into the COI charge.”
