**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Faith Munn
- **Defendant:** Hertz Long-Term Disability Plan
**Case Background:**
Faith Munn filed a lawsuit against the Hertz Long-Term Disability Plan after her claims for long-term disability benefits were denied. Munn asserted that due to a medical condition, she was unable to perform her job duties and thus qualified for benefits under the terms of the plan.
**Legal Issues:**
The primary legal issues in this case include:
1. Whether Munn met the eligibility criteria for long-term disability benefits as defined by the Hertz Long-Term Disability Plan.
2. Whether the denial of benefits was arbitrary and capricious, given the evidence provided by Munn regarding her medical condition.
3. The interpretation of the plan’s terms and any relevant ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) provisions.
**Arguments:**
- **Plaintiff's Argument:** Munn presented medical records and physician statements to support her claim that she was unable to perform her work duties. She argued that the plan administrators did not adequately consider this evidence, leading to an unjust denial of her benefits.
- **Defendant's Argument:** The Hertz Long-Term Disability Plan maintained that Munn did not meet the plan’s standards for disability. They argued that the medical documentation was insufficient to substantiate her claims of disability as per the plan’s requirements.
