Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against New York Life.
Carl – Airline Operations Supervisor – Irving, Arizona
Osteochondritis Dissecans, Knee Pain, Complications from Knee Surgery
An airline operations supervisor began having serious knee pain after an unsuccessful meniscus surgery. Walking was very difficult, and doctors told him he may eventually need to have knee replacement surgery. His job required walking between 24 gates at the airport to supervise employees, so he was forced to take a lower paying job that did not strain his knee as much. He received Long Term Disability benefits from his insurer while they were evaluating his claim, but after a few months they stopped paying.
Disappointed in this decision to stop paying his benefits, and worried about his lost income, he called Fields Law for help. The attorneys at Fields Law studied documentation from New York Life and discovered they were not using an accurate description of our client’s job. Fields Law attorneys filed a strong appeal and kept our client informed every step of the way. Ultimately, our client was granted continued benefits and issued a lump-sum payment for back-pay.
