In 2018, Trief & Olk represented the widower of a physician employed by a large healthcare provider in New Jersey. Under the terms of the life insurance policy (paid by the employer), she was insured for a death benefit of $500,000; however, the life insurance company misinterpreted the terms of the policy and only paid $150,000. Without having to file suit, Trief & Olk obtained the full amount of coverage owed, with the client receiving the additional $350,000 to which he was entitled.
