Pulmonary Fibrosis
A woman from Michigan suffered from severe pulmonary fibrosis, a condition that makes the simple act of breathing difficult. Her condition was so severe that she had been recommended for a lung transplant. This condition made it impossible for her to work in any capacity. Her insurance company accepted her claim and paid Short Term Disability benefits. The insurer later denied her claim for Long Term Disability benefits stating that she had the capacity to perform her own occupation.
Not knowing how to fight the insurance company, she reached out to Fields Law. The attorneys at Fields Law began by updating our client’s medical records to provide the full scope of the client’s condition. Once the records were compiled, her attorney drafted a winning appeal which led the insurance company to overturn their denial and reinstate her benefits. Our client felt a huge sense of relief that she would once again have a steady source of income to support herself.
