Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Music Teacher - Dayton, NJ
Lupus, Diabetes, Chronic Migraines, Neuropathy
“A Music Teacher from New Jersey was taken out of work by her physicians due to Lupus, chronic migraines, and neuropathy. These conditions impaired her balance requiring her to use a cane to walk, impaired cognitive ability, and caused chronic pain and fatigue. She applied for disability benefits, but Prudential denied her benefits stating that her medical records did not provide substantial evidence to prove that she couldn’t do her job.
She decided to contact Fields Disability for assistance. Our disability team started gathering the necessary documentation to file the appeal. Our attorneys drafted the first appeal using all medical records and reports who supported our client’s claim for disability. Prudential upheld its denial stating that she had not satisfied the elimination period. The Fields Disability attorneys drafted another appeal that documented disabling medical evidence during the period of time that Prudential deemed our client not disabled. After the second appeal, Prudential paid our client back benefits and was put on claim.”
Bank Branch Manager - Jackson, NJ
Ulnar Nerve Injury, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Muscles Wasting, Radial Ulnar Joint Arthritis
“A Branch Manager for a bank in New Jersey fell at home and fractured her wrist. The fall damaged her ligaments, nerves, and bones that connect her arm and hand. Due to this injury, she contracted complex regional pain syndrome, essentially losing the use of her left arm. She applied and was approved for Long Term Disability through Liberty Mutual. After one year, her insurer terminated her claim, stating that her records no longer supported her inability to work.
Upset about the denial, alongside her condition worsening, she called Fields Disability for help. Our disability team obtained the claim file from Liberty Mutual. The Fields Disability attorneys found that Liberty Mutual overlooked key medical documents, and drafted a strong appeal based on updated records and new expert opinions. On appeal, our client was paid her past due benefits and was provided ongoing monthly benefits once again. ”
Retail Merchandiser - Clay, NY
Chronic Pain, Neuropathy, Low Back Pain, Radiculopathy
“A Retail Merchandiser from New York suffered from back pain, radiculopathy, and neuropathy in both feet so intense that pain medications no longer provided relief, forcing him to stop working. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but Liberty Mutual denied the claim stating his medical records did not support that he could not return to work.
Worried about his lost income, he called Fields Disability for help. Our disability team obtained the claim file from Liberty Mutual. On review, the Fields Disability attorneys found that Liberty Mutual was misinterpreting our client’s physical capabilities. We requested additional information and clarification from our client’s doctors. Our attorneys filed an appeal based on additional documentation. After a review, Liberty Mutual paid our client his back benefits and ongoing monthly benefits.”
Accountant Manager - Bronxville, NY
Depression, Fatigue, Anxiety
“An Accountant Manager from New York began experiencing intense bouts of anxiety and depression. She worked with these conditions until she became so fatigued from her constant mental health struggles that she could no longer concentrate at work, so she applied for Long Term Disability benefits. The Hartford denied her claim stating that the evidence submitted did not support that she could not return to work.
Worried about her lost income and still unable to work, she called Fields Disability for help. Our disability team obtained the claim file from The Hartford, and gathered updated medical information. We discovered that The Hartford made legal or factual errors based on the client’s medical records. Our attorneys drafted a strong appeal based on updated medical records, expert testimony, and strong legal research. After review, our client was paid a lump-sum for back benefits and had their ongoing monthly benefits restored.”
Registered Nurse Case Manager - Katonah, NY
Gastrointestinal Issues, Low Back Pain, Depression
“A Registered Nurse/Case Manager from New York had a fast-paced, stressful, and demanding job. She left work when she became sick with chronic gastrointestinal issues. She submitted a Long Term Disability claim, which was denied. Prudential stated there was not enough medical evidence to support her disability, even though her Short Term Disability benefits had been approved.
She hired Fields Disability to fight Prudential during the appeals process. Our disability team set out to gather all the necessary medical information to overturn the denial decision. The Fields attorneys submitted substantial medical evidence to support our client’s inability to perform her highly skilled occupation. After review of the appeal and supporting documents, Prudential paid her back benefits and reinstated her claim.”
