Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against various insurers.
Christopher – Engineering Technician – St. Croix Falls, Minnesota
Degenerative Disc Disease, Fibromyalgia, Crohns Disease
An insurance company discontinued Long Term Disability benefits of a long time public service employee and military veteran without notifying him. He never received a call or a denial letter from the insurer. He was totally blindsided and had no idea how they could possibly think he was able to work.
Fields Law helped secure the claim file, searched for justification regarding the discontinued benefits, and appealed the decision. Our attorneys requested a comprehensive report from the claimant’s treating doctor outlining the many reasons why full-time work was not an option for our client. The insurer re-instated benefits and awarded our client with all the back pay he was entitled to under the policy.
Carol – Child Support Officer – Isanti, Minnesota
Lower Extremity Lymphedema
After being diagnosed with lower extremity lymphedema, a woman who worked as a Child Support Officer became unable to work. She applied for disability benefits but was unfortunately denied. The condition she battled caused severe swelling in her legs that affected her gait and her ability to balance, which caused her to fall frequently. She also suffered from depression and had significant cognitive impairments, including memory problems and inability to concentrate.
She was confused and distraught about the denial of her benefits. She knew she needed to appeal but was unsure of the process because her insurance policy was complex. The attorneys at Fields Law helped with her case from beginning to end. We reached out to three of our client’s treating physicians to get the information needed to reverse the insurance company’s denial. Our client found peace in knowing that she would not have to worry about paying her bills.
Taneisha – Program Specialist – Pontiac, Michigan
Graves’ Disease, Depression, Anxiety, Anemia
A Program Specialist for an insurance company in Michigan left work due to developing Graves’ Disease and some additional conditions, which made it impossible to perform her skilled and stressful job. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits. She was initially approved and paid benefits for a year and a half. However, CIGNA had one of its “Medical Directors” review the claim. The unnamed Medical Director determined she was no longer limited from performing her own occupation.
She received a denial letter and hired Fields Law to fight the denial on her behalf. Our attorneys secured detailed medical information from our client’s treating doctor showing she was unable to perform not just her own occupation, but any occupation in the national economy. The appeal was submitted with updated medical records and legal arguments supporting our client’s claim. CIGNA reversed it’s decision and paid all outstanding benefits. Our client was so impressed with Fields Law Firm, she hired us to represent her against her insurer on an ongoing basis.
