Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Guardian.
Regchenal – Accounting Clerk – Washington, District of Columbia
Pituitary Tumor, Reduced Vision Left Eye, Headaches
An accounting clerk from Washington, D.C., suffered a pituitary tumor, reduced vision in her left eye and headaches. She had been receiving Long Term Disability benefits for six years when they were unexpectedly terminated by Guardian after one of her treating physicians failed to complete an attending physicians’ statement. However, the physician had completed many physicians’ statements in the past stating their patient’s vision loss was permanent and would only continue to progress.
Needing help, she came to Fields Law. The team at Fields Law obtained updated medical records and reports from her physicians and crafted a strong appeal letter. After reviewing the updated evidence and appeal arguments, Guardian reversed their decision and reinstated our client’s Long Term Disability benefits.
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.
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.
