Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Assembler - Linwood, CA
Hand Injury, Chronic Pain
“An assembler from California suffered a debilitating hand injury and was forced out of work. Her initial claim for Long Term Disability benefits was approved, and she remained on claim for years due to the severity of her conditions. Unfortunately, she was left without a financial safety net when Mutual of Omaha unexpectedly terminated her benefits.
Unsure of how to proceed without her monthly payments, she contacted the team at Fields Disability for assistance. The Fields team analyzed her claim file and presented medical evidence of the client’s conditions, which clearly showed her inability to work. Mutual of Omaha reversed their decision and the client’s benefits were reapproved. She received backpay, and her monthly benefits resumed.”
Accounting Clerk - Washington, D.C.
Pituitary Tumor, Reduced Vision Left Eye, Headaches
“An accounting clerk from Washington, D.C., suffered a pituitary tumor, reduced vision in her left eye and headaches. She had been receiving Long Term Disability benefits for six years when they were unexpectedly terminated by Guardian after one of her treating physicians failed to complete an attending physicians’ statement. However, the physician had completed many physicians’ statements in the past stating their patient’s vision loss was permanent and would only continue to progress.
Needing help, she came to Fields Disability. The team at Fields Disability obtained updated medical records and reports from her physicians and crafted a strong appeal letter. After reviewing the updated evidence and appeal arguments, Guardian reversed their decision and reinstated our client’s Long Term Disability benefits.”
FC Associate - Crown Point, IN
Chronic Back Pain, Radiculopathy, Spondylolisthesis
“An FC Associate from Indiana stopped working due her disabling conditions, including chronic back pain, radiculopathy and spondylolisthesis. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits but was denied when The Hartford determined that she was capable of working full-time in another regular occupation.
She contacted Fields Disability for help. The attorneys at Fields Disability reviewed the insurer’s claim file, gathered doctor’s records and reports and drafted an appeal. In response, The Hartford overturned their prior determination and approved her claim, resulting in a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits.”
Investigative Manager - East Lansing, MI
Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Migraines, Insomnia
“An investigative manager for the State of Michigan developed multiple severe mental health symptoms due to ongoing chronic migraines. Unable to continue working, she applied for Long Term Disability benefits from Sedgwick. Unfortunately, her benefits were denied by the insurer.
She retained Fields Disability to help appeal the decision. The Fields attorneys began assembling an appeal, including gathering updated medical records and getting detailed letters of support from our client’s treating providers. The team then wrote a lengthy appeal addressing the points raised in the insurer’s denial. Sedgwick considered the new evidence and overturned their prior determination. They issued a check for backpay and began paying monthly benefits.”
Territory Manager - Elkhart, IN
Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, Pain Med Induced Grogginess, Chronic Pain, Chronic Weakness, Immobility, Assistive Ambulatory Device, Cane
“A territory manager for a major pharmaceutical company from Indiana developed several complicated conditions, limiting her mobility and use of her upper extremities. Unable to continue working, she applied for Long Term Disability benefits. She was approved, and her benefits ran for a year before New York Life terminated her claim.
Knowing she needed help, she retained Fields Disability. The Fields attorneys began assembling her appeal, including gathering her updated medical records and securing letters of support from her primary treating providers. Upon reviewing the appeal, New York Life overturned their prior denial and reinstated benefits.”
