(May 10, 2019, 9:56 AM EDT) -- SAN FRANCISCO — The Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on May 8 held that a lower federal court should have allowed a widow to submit evidence rebutting the denial of benefits under an accident plan, finding that the court’s failure to do so of necessity affected its finding that the life insurer had no more than a structural conflict of interest, vacating and remanding the lower court’s judgment in an Employee Retirement Income Security Act lawsuit (Marnie Masuda-Cleveland v. Life Insurance Company of North America, No. 17-17149, 9th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 13782)....
