Kyle – Sales Manager – Washington, District of Columbia
Bipolar, Depression Anxiety
A young up-and-coming executive stopped working due to severe anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. His symptoms resulted in an inability to keep up with the extremely demanding mental demands of his job. His insurer reviewed his claim for approximately five months before denying benefits, claiming that he wasn’t continuously disabled during the elimination period in the policy. The executive was confused because he had been consistently treating with a therapist and psychiatrist who adamantly stated he should remain out of work.
Worried and upset, he hired Fields Law Firm to fight this wrongful denial. Our attorneys first ordered updated medical records from our client’s therapist and psychiatrist. Then, we requested written comments from our client’s treating providers regarding his conditions. Our attorneys used that information to secure a favorable vocational report that concluded our client was unable to work at his former job. After Fields Law submitted the appeal, Prudential reinstated benefits well before the end of the 45 day review period. Our client received a substantial backpay check and was able to begin training for a low-stress future career.
