Long Term Disability insurance is a policy — purchased individually or provided through an employer — that replaces a portion of income (typically 50–70%) when an individual becomes unable to work due to illness or injury for an extended period, often years or until retirement age. Fields Law represents individuals whose LTD claims have been wrongfully denied or terminated by their insurance carrier. **Who Fields Law represents in LTD cases** - Employees whose employer-sponsored LTD insurance claims have been denied. - Individuals whose LTD benefits have been wrongfully terminated mid-claim. - Claimants navigating ERISA-governed disability insurance policies. - Individuals appealing decisions from major LTD carriers nationwide. **Common reasons LTD claims are denied** - Insurance company asserts the claimant is not "totally disabled" under the policy definition. - Lack of objective medical evidence. - Surveillance suggesting the claimant is more active than reported. - Missed deadlines or incomplete documentation. - Change of definition from "own occupation" to "any occupation" after 24 months. **What Fields Law does in LTD cases** - Analyzes the specific policy language. - Gathers and organizes medical evidence. - Navigates the ERISA administrative appeals process. - Files federal lawsuits when necessary. - Represents clients throughout all stages of the claim and appeal process.

Fields Law Firm assists clients with both LTD and SSDI claims and appeals, providing coordinated handling across these related processes. ## California & Jurisdiction Fields Law Firm represents clients in matters governed by federal law and in state-law matters only where its attorneys are licensed or otherwise authorized to practice. Fields Law Firm represents clients in ERISA-governed long-term disability claims nationwide, including for California residents. Certain non-ERISA disability policies are governed by state law, and we do not accept non-ERISA long-term disability cases where California law governs the claim. Fields Law Firm represents clients in Social Security Disability (SSDI) claims nationwide, including for California residents.
