Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Floor Supervisor - Eagle Lake, MN
Degenerative Disc Disease, Heart Disease, Knees, Hips, Narrowing Cranial Blood Vessels
“A floor supervisor for a food services company in Minnesota developed severe joint issues over the course of his career. Unable to continue working, he applied for Long Term Disability benefits from Sedgwick. However, the insurer denied his claim, asserting that his medical records did not support restrictions to prevent him from returning to work.
He retained Fields Disability to appeal the decision. The Fields team gathered his updated medical records and crafted an appeal. Upon consideration, Sedgwick overturned their denial, issued payment for back benefits, and began making monthly payments.”
Processing Operator - Chickamauga, Georgia
Degenerative Disc Disease, Fibromyalgia
“A processing operator from Georgia was forced out of work due to severe pain issues. After several years receiving Long Term Disability benefits, Guardian suddenly denied her Long Term Disability claim.
Needing assistance, our client reached out to Fields Disability. Our attorneys drafted an appeal, providing the insurer with significant evidence supporting her disability claim, including extensive medical records, testimonies from our client’s physicians, and other important information. Guardian reinstated our client’s future benefits and sent her all the backpay she was owed from the date of the denial.”
Engineer - Mesa, Arizona
Hepatic Encephalopathy, Vertebral Compression Fracture, History of Liver Transplant
“An engineer from Arizona was forced out of work due to his disabling conditions. After receiving Long Term Disability benefits for five years, Guardian decided to cut off his benefits, claiming that the medical records no longer supported restrictions or limitations.
Worried about his lost income, he called Fields Disability for help. The attorneys at Fields Disability gathered medical records and supplemental opinions from his doctors to refute the insurance company. With stronger evidence, the team drafted an appeal arguing the legal basis for reinstating our clients’ benefits. Guardian reversed their decision and our client received a lump-sum for back-pay and is receiving his monthly income.”
Service Technician - Calhoun, GA
Congestive Heart Failure, History of Stroke
“A service technician for a large trucking company in Georgia suffered a stroke due to a chronic heart condition. This left him with chronic weakness, speech difficulties and cognitive impairments. He was no longer able to work, applied for disability benefits, and was initially approved. After two years of benefits, when the definition of ‘disabled’ under his policy changed, Mutual of Omaha terminated the claim.
In response to the termination, our client reached out to Fields Disability. Our attorneys wrote an appeal which included updated medical information, outlined the symptoms that the client dealt with daily, and illustrated why he was unable to work even an unskilled, sedentary occupation. On review, Mutual of Omaha overturned their termination, made payment to the client of benefits that were past due, and resumed paying his monthly benefits.”
Cashier - Shakopee, MN
Back Injury
“A cashier from Minnesota injured his back while at work and was subsequently only able to work part time. As part of his disability process, he applied for Short Term Disability benefits from Sedgwick. Upon review, the insurer denied his claim for failure to provide adequate information to support his disablement.
He retained Fields Disability to help him comply with his policy. The Fields attorneys compiled his records and wrote an appeal of the insurer’s decision. Upon review, Sedgwick found they had everything required to process his disability application and overturned their prior denial, granting him Short Term Disability benefits.”
SETTLEMENTS AND RECOVERIES IN ALL CASES DEPEND ON SPECIFIC FACTUAL AND LEGAL CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH ARE UNIQUE TO EACH CLIENT’S CASE. PAST CASE RESULTS ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OR PREDICTION OF SIMILAR RESULTS IN FUTURE CASES WHICH THE FIELDS LAW FIRM AND ITS LAWYERS MAY UNDERTAKE.
