CASE LAW
for
CFS, FMS, MCS,
AND OTHER "INVISIBLE" DISABILITIES
This webpage contains product of extensive "when able" work by Judy Morris, M.D., a person with CFIDS (PWC) and an ERISA LTD insurance company "victim" pro se vs. Unum/Provident. It also contains the research work of two other folks who are pro se, Chris Hasney, PWC pro se vs. MetLife in an ERISA LTD case and Bill Hammel, pro se in a RICO action vs. State Farm. We also received help from other fellow netizens, and we thank all of you. Our special thanks also to the Health Administration Responsibility Project (HARP) which has an extensive case list focused on HMOs and ERISA, and to Mary Schweitzer; without their groundbreaking efforts we would not have known where to start, and some of the abstracts in these case files were gleaned from their sites. This information is presumed current as of 4/01/00, but pay attention:
THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE.
This is a compilation of SOME cases which might be useful, but the cases have not been "Shepardized" and are presented for research value and case file stuffing value only. Don't try to play Perry Mason with this material, be your own lawyer (pro se) only when you have no viable alternative.
A good use of this material is to make it available to your attorney in exchange for a fee discount because you have streamlined his or her research.
Permission is hereby granted to anyone to do anything with any of this without any need to compensate anyone for anything.
The number of cases is extensive. Therfore, we will divide the site into sections which can be retrieved and printed separately.
Some cases may appear more than once, due to their having multiple applications. Others may have more than one application but will appear in only one section. Sorry; if you don't like it our way, go to Burger King.
