Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Guardian.
Andrew – IT – San Jose, California
Depression and Anxiety
An IT professional from California was unable to keep working when his depression and anxiety worsened for several months. He received Short Term Disability benefits, but when it came time for Long Term Disability benefits, he was denied by Guardian.
Needing to protect his income, he turned to Fields Law. Not long after his LTD benefits would have kicked in, he returned to work. The Fields attorneys drafted an appeal that explained why our client’s condition did not allow him to work for the time he was out. After our appeal, Guardian approved his claim for the amount of time he was out of work.
Pablo – Outside Sales Representative – Granada Hills, California
Hypertension
An outside sales representative from California was forced out of work due to the severity of his hypertension. He received Long Term Disability benefits without interruption for more than ten years until Guardian abruptly stopped issuing monthly payments.
When his claim was terminated, he reached out to the team at Fields Law for guidance. Our attorneys assessed the client’s claim file and appealed the insurer’s wrongful termination of benefits. Upon review, Guardian reversed its decision. Our client received backpay and once again began receiving monthly benefits.
Ricky – Land Surveyor – Auburn, Alabama
Severe Back Arthritis, Acute Pancreatitis, GERD, Chronic Pain Syndrome, Occipital Neuralgia, Spondylosis, Post Laminectomy Syndrome
A land surveyor from Alabama was forced to end his career due to multiple debilitating musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal disorders. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits through Guardian, but his claim was denied, even after trying to appeal.
Needing more guidance, he reached out to Fields Law to assist him with filing another appeal against Guardian. His team at Fields Law presented a strong case and after considering the additional information, the client won months of backpay.
