Hartford

If Hartford wants an interview, have someone else with you and ask to see their video of you before the meeting!!

Hello my name is Robert Cutts, I have a Desmoid tumor surrounding a major artery in my abdomen. Treatment through Chemotherapy activated an Entrovirus in my stomach that causes severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There is no known cure for the tumor or Entrovirus. Hartford sent an investigator to my home for a three hour interview, at the end of the interview the investigator showed my some videos of my activities outside of my home which proved nothing. Example, during the interview the investigator asked me if I can wash or polish my car and I told him I take it to the car wash. He had video of me giving the car wash attendant a tip and driving my car away, I don’t see where this has anything to do with my being able to work 40 hours a week. He had some other videos that was just as dumb as that. Hartford sent packages to all of my Doctors including the videos. My Doctors all thought it was a very dirty way to do business. One of my Doctors thought it so underhanded that they gave me the whole package. A strong word of advice if Hartford wants to do an interview, have someone else there with you and tell them that if they have video you want to see it BEFORE proceeding with the interview.

Robert, Thanks for sharing you experience about Hartford. We have discussed Hartford’s field interviews in some of our videos and blog postings on this site. Hartford is notorious for showing up for a 2-3 hour interview and then toward the end showing you an authorized video of them following you around for days. We always advise Hartford disability claimants to have an attorney represent them if Hartford request to interview them
