Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

Medical Insurance

I have been employed with my company for 9 months now. Medical Insurance was provided for me by the owners expense, which was stated in my employment contract. My daughter was also on this plan which I paid for with the payment deducted from my pay checks. Business has slowed. The owner has stopped my Medical Ins. with no advanced notice, no time to switch to another Ins. company without lapse or option to take it over myself. I have since injured my eye (not on the job), and have had to seek medical attention. Do I have any legal rights or grounds for suit?

Re: Medical Insurance

There are state laws requiring both the employer and the insurer to give notice before terminating a group insurance plan. Depending on the particulars of your employment contract and the insurance policy/group master plan documents, you probably have grounds to sue both.
