Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Maryland.
Trina – Graphic Designer – Upper Marlboro, Maryland
Lumbar Spine Pain, Nerve Damage, Radiculopathy, Paresthesia
A 52 year-old graphic designer became disabled due to lumbar spine issues with radicular and nerve pain. She stopped working because sitting for long periods of time was absolutely agonizing. Her insurer properly paid her claim for almost three years. After she began receiving Social Security Disability benefits, her insurer contacted her to collect an overpayment of previous benefits. In the same breath, the insurance company informed claimant she was no longer eligible for benefits under the terms of her plan.
The woman retained Fields Law to appeal the decision shortly before the appeal was due. Our attorneys quickly assembled medical records, as well as statements from her treating physicians outlining her inability to work. The insurer overturned their decision resulting in a large payment of back benefits. The claim was reinstated, and monthly payments began shortly thereafter.
