Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Community Manager - Seaford, DE
Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Raynaud’s Disease
“A community manager from Delaware could no longer work due to her debilitating lupus, fibromyalgia and Raynaud’s Disease. Initially, she was approved for Long Term Disability, which she received for several months. Then, The Hartford abruptly terminated her benefits.
Concerned about her financial stability, she reached out to Fields Disability for assistance. The Fields team appealed the termination with significant evidence supporting our client’s disability claim, including medical records and testimonies from her physicians. The appeal was successful and The Hartford reinstated our clients future benefits and sent her all of the backpay she was owed from the date of termination.”
Systems Support Technician - Bakersfield, CA
Cervical Radiculopathy, Myalgia, Muscle Weakness, Paresthesia of the Skin
“A systems support technician from California had to stop working due to his painful, disabling medical conditions, including cervical radiculopathy, myalgia, muscle weakness, and paresthesia of the skin. Although his claim for Short Term Disability was approved by Mutual of Omaha, his subsequent claim for Long Term Disability was denied.
Unable to work, and now without his financial safety net, he reached out to Fields Disability for assistance. The Fields team gathered medical records and a Functional Capacity Evaluation that showed our client’s inability to work. The attorneys drafted an appeal, urging Mutual of Omaha to grant the client the benefits to which he was entitled. His Long Term Disability benefits were granted, and he received a check for the backpay that had accrued on his claim.”
IT - San Jose, CA
Depression and Anxiety
“An IT professional from California was unable to keep working when his depression and anxiety worsened for several months. He received Short Term Disability benefits, but when it came time for Long Term Disability benefits, he was denied by Guardian.
Needing to protect his income, he turned to Fields Disability. Not long after his LTD benefits would have kicked in, he returned to work. The Fields attorneys drafted an appeal that explained why our client’s condition did not allow him to work for the time he was out. After our appeal, Guardian approved his claim for the amount of time he was out of work.”
Outside Sales Representative - Granada Hills, CA
Hypertension
“An outside sales representative from California was forced out of work due to the severity of his hypertension. He received Long Term Disability benefits without interruption for more than ten years until Guardian abruptly stopped issuing monthly payments.
When his claim was terminated, he reached out to the team at Fields Disability for guidance. Our attorneys assessed the client’s claim file and appealed the insurer’s wrongful termination of benefits. Upon review, Guardian reversed its decision. Our client received backpay and once again began receiving monthly benefits.”
Trail Builder - Fayetteville, Arkansas
Spinal Surgery, Spondylitis of the Thoracolumbar Region, Low Back Pain
“A trail builder in Arkansas was forced to stop working due to disabling medical conditions, including complications from spinal surgery and spondylitis of the thoracolumbar region. Initially, he was approved for Long Term Disability benefits. Then, after 10 months, Mutual of Omaha abruptly terminated his benefits.
He reached out to Fields Disability for assistance, and our team appealed the termination. After providing the insurer with significant evidence supporting the client’s disability claim, Mutual of Omaha reinstated our client’s benefits and sent him all the backpay he was owed.”
