Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Indiana.
Marisa – Territory Manager – Elkhart, Indiana
Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy, Pain Med Induced Grogginess, Chronic Pain, Chronic Weakness, Immobility, Assistive Ambulatory Device, Cane
A territory manager for a major pharmaceutical company from Indiana developed several complicated conditions, limiting her mobility and use of her upper extremities. Unable to continue working, she applied for Long Term Disability benefits. She was approved, and her benefits ran for a year before New York Life terminated her claim.
Knowing she needed help, she retained Fields Law. The Fields attorneys began assembling her appeal, including gathering her updated medical records and securing letters of support from her primary treating providers. Upon reviewing the appeal, New York Life overturned their prior denial and reinstated benefits.
Benita – FC Associate – Crown Point, Indiana
Chronic Back Pain, Radiculopathy, Spondylolisthesis
An FC Associate from Indiana stopped working due her disabling conditions, including chronic back pain, radiculopathy and spondylolisthesis. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits but was denied when The Hartford determined that she was capable of working full-time in another regular occupation.
She contacted Fields Law for help. The attorneys at Fields Law reviewed the insurer’s claim file, gathered doctor’s records and reports and drafted an appeal. In response, The Hartford overturned their prior determination and approved her claim, resulting in a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits.
Darcell – RPO Specialist – Hammond, Indiana
Degenerative Disc Disease, Diabetes, Neuropathy, Hypertension
An RPO specialist from Indiana was forced out of work due to degenerative disc disease and diabetic neuropathy. She underwent several surgeries on her spine, but nothing helped get her pain fully under control. She was initially approved by The Hartford for Long Term Disability benefits, but after only a few months her payments were terminated.
Needing help to appeal the termination, she turned to Fields Law. Our team gathered her medical records and arranged for a functional capacity evaluation which supported her inability to work. The Hartford then reversed the decision and approved our client for ongoing Long Term Disability benefits and a lump sum payment for the benefits owed to her.
