Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Arizona.
Dave – Senior Software Engineer – Chandler, Arizona
Bilateral Drusen, Bilateral Nuclear Senile Cataract, Left Macular Plucking, Bilateral Vitreous Degeneration, Blurred Vision, Vision Loss, Defective Visual Field, Status Post Cataract Surgery
A senior software engineer in Arizona developed visual issues which forced him to stop working. As his condition worsened, he knew he was unable to return to work full-time. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits which were denied by Mutual of Omaha.
Unsure how to handle the denial, he reached out to the attorneys at Fields Law for help. The attorneys requested all the necessary medical records and provider support for the appeal. After submitting the evidence along with the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned the initial denial and started paying him benefits.
David – Engineer – Mesa, Arizona
Hepatic Encephalopathy, Vertebral Compression Fracture, History of Liver Transplant
An engineer from Arizona was forced out of work due to his disabling conditions. After receiving Long Term Disability benefits for five years, Guardian decided to cut off his benefits, claiming that the medical records no longer supported restrictions or limitations.
Worried about his lost income, he called Fields Law for help. The attorneys at Fields gathered medical records and supplemental opinions from his doctors to refute the insurance company. With stronger evidence, the team drafted an appeal arguing the legal basis for reinstating our clients’ benefits. Guardian reversed their decision and our client received a lump-sum for back-pay and is receiving his monthly income.
Harry – Salesman – Phoenix, Arizona
Back Pain, Mental Health
A salesman from Arizona had been in a car accident that caused a disabling back condition. After filing a claim for Long Term Disability benefits, the insurance company denied benefits stating his conditions were pre-existing. He was forced out of work just two days before being covered for an entire year, which is what triggered the pre-existing denial. Fields Law Firm took the case on, knowing it would be an upward battle.
The Fields Law Firm attorneys crafted three separate appeals for our client, each time finding new support that our client’s conditions were not all covered during the pre-existing period. We argued that our client also had disabling conditions beyond his back pain. After years of fighting with the insurer, our attorneys negotiated a deal that got our client his best-case scenario, and then some. Our client was pleased with the results and thankful for the hard work the Fields Disability team put into his case.
