A man who was rendered disabled by witnessing the 9/11 terror attacks at the World Trade Center is not entitled to equitable tolling to challenge the denial of benefits from his insurance company, a federal judge has held.
Joseph Viti claimed his disability was so severe that it made him miss the deadline for appealing the denial of benefits from Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and the three-year statute of limitations for an action to compel reconsideration.
