Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against various insurers.
Stacy – Dispatcher – North Babylon, Pennsylvania
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Severe Anxiety
A Dispatcher from Pennsylvania suffered from irritable bowel syndrome and severe anxiety. Due to her condition, she was unable to continue working in her sedentary occupation. Her Long Term Disability insurer denied her claim, asserting that her medical records did not indicate any impairment that prevented her from performing her job.
Scared about what to do, she reached out to Fields Law Firm. The attorneys at Fields Law began updating our client’s medical records to submit to CIGNA. In addition, we provided CIGNA with a report from her treating doctor that outlined her condition and her inability to work. Upon review, they reversed their decision and recommenced the payment of monthly benefits. Our client was relieved with the reinstatement of her benefits.
Robert – Mechanic – Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania
Back Pain, Sciatica
A man from Pennsylvania who worked as a mechanic suffered from severe back pain and sciatica. The pain prevented him from performing his job as a fleet mechanic for US Foods. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but CIGNA denied his claim stating that the medical information did not show that he was physically limited.
Clearly unable to work in his condition, he found Fields Law. The attorneys at Fields Law began reviewing the entire file from CIGNA and the report from their doctor. When the review was completed, we updated medical records and obtained statements from our client’s orthopedist. With the updated records and reports, our attorneys then drafted a winning appeal, causing CIGNA to revise their decision and reinstated the client’s monthly benefits. Our client was so thankful to get his benefits back and relieved that he would no longer have to worry about supporting himself and his family.
Derek – Conveyor Mechanic Assistant – Milford, Pennsylvania
Back Pain, Collapsed Arches in Feet
A conveyor maintenance mechanic from Pennsylvania injured his back at work. His job required clearing conveyor belts of obstructions and debris, as well as repairing the belts as needed. One day he had to lift a 100-pound box of wire as part of a repair project. He injured his back and the pain was so severe that he was forced to stop working. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits through work but was denied.
Worried about his loss of income, he contacted Fields Law for assistance. Our attorneys immediately contacted the insurance company for a copy of the claim file and asked our client’s doctors for medical records. The insurance company did not thoroughly review the medical record before making their decision. Our attorneys sent a strong appeal to the insurer, citing specific reports from doctors who said our client could not return to work. The insurance company overturned their denial and our client is receiving his monthly benefits again.
