PHILADELPHIA 76ERS L.P. v. TRUSTMARK INSURANCE COMPANY et al Featured Case

Plaintiff Philadelphia 76ers L.P. alleges that defendant New Jersey Nets Basketball LLC had signed Todd MacCulloch and applied for Temporary Total Disability Insurance coverage with defendant Trustmark Insurance Co. The Nets later traded MacCulloch and assigned the insurance coverage to the Philadelphia 76ers. After MacCulloch was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, Trustmark denied coverage based on the Nets' purported failure to disclose that MacCulloch was suffering from a transitory case of mild plantar fasciitis.
