A man who worked as a Quality Control Clerk for US Foods suffered from chronic and debilitating pain in his ankle and neck, as well as Hepatitis C. As a result, he was unable to continue to perform his job. After paying benefits for two years, his Long Term Disability insurer denied his claim alleging that there was no evidence that his condition prevented him from performing occupations that they had identified.
Not knowing what to do, he reached out to the attorneys at Fields Law. The attorneys at Fields Law reviewed all of the records Prudential had and began getting updated records to provide. We also obtained a report from his treating doctor which highlighted that our client could not work with his condition. Our attorneys then drafted a winning appeal which outlined the deficiencies in the insurer’s review of the claim. On appeal, Prudential reversed their decision and reinstated the payment of monthly benefits. Our client was happy to hear that he was going to have the income he needed to get by while he worked on managing his pain.
