A sales and marketing representative from New York began experiencing anxiety and migraines. The medication prescribed to combat her anxiety gave her severe gastrointestinal distress which only exacerbated her anxiety. Combined with chronic back pain, her conditions made it impossible to work. Her insurer approved her for Long Term Disability benefits initially, but then stopped payments after seven months. Anthem Life said she could return to work because she was no longer disabled.
Worried about her lost income, she called Fields Law Firm for help. We gathered all our client’s medical records and our attorneys examined them closely. It turned out the insurance company mis-analyzed the cumulative effect of our client’s ailments and did not grasp the full impact of our client’s condition. Our attorneys filed an appeal to Anthem Life, and the insurer reversed the denial. Our client received a lump-sum check for back-pay and ongoing monthly benefits. She is pleased to be done fighting her insurer, and is happy with the representation from Fields Law Firm.
