Don K. Davis and Johnnalyn M. Davis vs. United Teacher Associates Insurance Company, Dale Myers and Sandra Hall, and Does 1-20
* Don Davis says UTA failed to pay insurance benefits. He says he changed his existing cancer insurance policy by increasing the amount of coverages and that his "current policy" would remain in effect while changing benefits. Davis says he made repeated calls to defendants from November 2004 to June 2006. The second police was issued on July 27, 2006, he says. About a month later, he was diagnosed with cancer. On Sept. 5, he submitted a claim for benefits. On Sept. 19, 2007, UTA denied his claim, saying the original police was canceled and "the second cancer insurance policy was not in effect at the time of loss." He says UTA also continued to try to collect premiums.
