Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Massachusetts.
Barbara – Senior Project Designer – Stoneham, Massachusetts
Cellulitis, Recurrent Leg Infection, Panic Attacks
A Senior Project Designer from Massachusetts suffered a broken leg from a skiing accident. The doctors put pins into her leg. Eventually, the pins caused an infection and needed to be replaced. The leg infection did not go away, and the Project Designer was forced to stop working. She was approved for Long Term Disability benefits. After four years, Unum suddenly stopped paying benefits, saying that they did not receive the correct paperwork.
Frightened by her sudden loss of income, she called Fields Law for help. Our attorneys immediately requested our client’s file from Unum. They also called our client’s doctors to obtain updated medical reports. The Fields Law attorneys used medical records and legal research to build a strong appeal. Unum overturned their denial and reinstated benefits to our client. Our client was pleased to be done fighting Unum, and is happy to move forward with her life.
Soujanya – Pharmacist – Acton, Massachusetts
Back Pain, Hip Pain
A retail pharmacist from Massachusetts began having severe back and hip pain. Her doctor diagnosed her with bulging discs in her back that were radiating pain to her hip. She was approved for Long Term Disability benefits through her employer. Prudential periodically asked for documentation of her treatment, and after receiving benefits for a year, they said she could return to work. She sent in a written appeal, but Prudential would not change its decision.
Upset with Prudential, she contacted Fields Law for assistance. The attorneys at Fields Law obtained the entire claim file from the insurance company and our client’s medical records to compile all of the evidence. Our attorneys sent Prudential a strong appeal which referenced key records that were previously overlooked. Prudential reversed their decision and our client received a lump-sum check for back-pay and a monthly check to offset her lost income.
