Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Mid-Market Sales Executive - Watertown, WI
Severe Headaches/Migraines
“A mid-market sales executive for a multinational telecommunications company in Wisconsin developed severe and persistent headaches/migraines. Unable to continue working, he filed for Short Term Disability benefits. Sedgwick determined that he was not prevented from performing his own occupation and denied his application.
He retained Fields Disability to help secure his benefits. The Fields team requested updated medical records and support from his doctor. The attorneys wrote an appeal of the insurer’s denial decision, addressing each of the insurer’s arguments. Upon consideration of the appeal, Sedgwick overturned their prior denial.”
Global Program Manager - Boise, ID
Migraine Headaches, Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis, Meniere’s Disease, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
“A global program manager for a major computer company in Idaho developed migraine headaches, seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, Meniere’s Disease, and mast cell activation syndrome. Unable to continue working, she applied for Long Term Disability benefits from Matrix Absence Management. She was approved and remained on claim for nearly a decade before the insurer terminated her benefits, claiming she could now return to some other kind of work.
Needing help, she retained Fields Disability. The Fields team gathered her updated medical records and letters of support from her physicians, and they drafted an appeal and addressed each point the insurer raised. Based on the appeal, Matrix Absence Management overturned their prior termination of our client’s benefits. They issued a check for backpay and once again began issuing monthly benefits.”
Spanish Teacher - Brentwood, CA
Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Headaches, Cognitive Deficits
“A Spanish teacher from California stopped working because of her multiple sclerosis, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, and cognitive deficits. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits but was denied when Mutual of Omaha determined that she could work full-time in her regular occupation.
Knowing she needed help, she contacted Fields Disability. The Fields attorneys reviewed the insurer’s claim file and drafted an appeal. After reviewing the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned their prior determination and approved her claim resulting a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits to the client.”
Police Technical Secretary - Chesterfield, MI
Cardiac Arrest, Fatigue, Short Term Memory Loss, Cognitive Impairment, Speech Difficulties
“A police technical secretary from Michigan stopped working because of her disabling conditions including cardiac arrest, fatigue, short term memory loss, cognitive impairment, and speech difficulties. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits but was denied because Madison National determined that she could work full-time in her regular occupation.
She contacted Fields Disability for help. The Fields attorneys reviewed the insurer’s claim file and gathered doctor’s records and reports to draft an appeal. Upon reviewing our appeal, Madison National overturned their prior determination and approved her claim resulting a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits to the client.”
RPO Specialist - Hammond, IN
Degenerative Disc Disease, Diabetes, Neuropathy, Hypertension
“An RPO specialist from Indiana was forced out of work due to degenerative disc disease and diabetic neuropathy. She underwent several surgeries on her spine, but nothing helped get her pain fully under control. She was initially approved by The Hartford for Long Term Disability benefits, but after only a few months her payments were terminated.
Needing help to appeal the termination, she turned to Fields Disability. Our team gathered her medical records and arranged for a functional capacity evaluation which supported her inability to work. The Hartford then reversed the decision and approved our client for ongoing Long Term Disability benefits and a lump sum payment for the benefits owed to her.”
