Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients in Georgia
Fields Law Firm successfully recovers millions of dollars each year for our disabled clients throughout the United States. Our Long Term Disability experience is matched by very few other law firms in the country and has earned us a national reputation.
Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Georgia.
Rose – Project Manager – Corona, Georgia
Post Back Surgery Pain
A project manager in Georgia underwent back surgery and later faced severe back pain that made working impossible. After Guardian terminated Long Term Disability benefits at the two-year mark, the client turned to Fields Law for support.
The Fields attorneys evaluated the denial, confirmed the appeal requirements, and built a record centered on objective medical support and clear documentation of work-related limitations. Fields Law compiled medical records, statements from treating physicians, and additional supporting materials to address the insurer’s stated reasons for termination. After a complete and organized administrative appeal submission, Guardian reversed its decision and paid the Long Term Disability benefits owed through the client’s return-to-work date.
Rejena – Processing Operator – Chickamauga, Georgia
Degenerative Disc Disease, Fibromyalgia
A processing operator from Georgia was forced out of work due to severe pain issues. After several years receiving Long Term Disability benefits, Guardian suddenly denied her Long Term Disability claim.
Needing assistance, our client reached out to Fields Law. Our attorneys drafted an appeal, providing the insurer with significant evidence supporting her disability claim, including extensive medical records, testimonies from our client’s physicians, and other important information. Guardian reinstated our client’s future benefits and sent her all the backpay she was owed from the date of the denial.
Wilson – Service Technician – Calhoun, Georgia
Congestive Heart Failure, History of Stroke
A service technician for a large trucking company in Georgia suffered a stroke due to a chronic heart condition. This left him with chronic weakness, speech difficulties, and cognitive impairments. He was no longer able to work, applied for disability benefits, and was initially approved. After two years of benefits, when the definition of “disabled” under his policy changed, Mutual of Omaha terminated the claim.
In response to the termination, our client reached out to Fields Law. Our attorneys wrote an appeal which included updated medical information, outlined the symptoms that the client dealt with daily, and illustrated why he was unable to work even an unskilled, sedentary occupation. On review, Mutual of Omaha overturned their termination, made payment to the client of benefits that were past due, and resumed paying his monthly benefits.
