Here are just a few of our lawsuit wins for our clients around the United States.
Machine Operator - Chattanooga, TN
COPD, Sarcoidosis, Hyertension
“A machine operator from Tennessee was suffering COPD, sarcoidosis, and hypertension. She was removed from work by her treating doctors, as it was no longer considered safe for her to continue working. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits through her employer’s policy, but was denied by Cigna. According to them, her medical records did not show that she was totally unable to work, so she turned to Fields Disability for help.
The Fields Disability team gathered and submitted additional information to support her claim, but Cigna did not reverse the denial. Undeterred, we gathered narrative reports from her treating providers, all of the medical evidence related to her claim, and her entire Social Security Disability file to establish she could no longer perform her job. Our attorneys submitted the second appeal with additional information and arguments. After the second appeal, the denial was reversed, paying our client all her past due benefits, and she was awarded ongoing monthly benefits.”
Pharmacist - Houston, TN
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
“A Pharmacist from Tennessee was unable to work because the symptoms of her Ehlers-Danlos syndrome became too severe. She submitted a claim for Long Term Disability benefits through Liberty Mutual, but the claim was denied. Unsure of what else to do, she went to Fields Disability for help.
Our disability team reviewed all of the records Liberty Mutual produced, and began requesting updated records from her providers. Healthcare costs forced her to move to Mexico, and because of this move many of her recent medical records were in Spanish. The Fields Disability team went so far as to translate many of the records to submit to Liberty Mutual. Our attorneys drafted a winning appeal highlighting the faults in the insurance company’s review of her claim. On appeal, Liberty Mutual reversed the denial paying our client all past due benefits and reinstated the payment of monthly benefits.”
Warehouse Associate - Memphis, TX
Vertigo, Fibromyalgia
“A warehouse associate from Tennessee became disabled when she developed vertigo and fibromyalgia. She received Short Term Disability benefits for a few months, until Cigna denied her continuing benefits stating her medical records did show that she was disabled.
Unable to work and worried about the loss of income, she hired Fields Disability to appeal the denial. Our disability team collected medical records and medical information from her doctors in support for her claimed disability. The Fields attorneys submitted additional medical information for review and argued in support of our client’s claim. Cigna reversed the denial and paid our client all her past due benefits, reinstating her disability claim.”
Purchasing Agent - Rhome, TX
Chronic Back Pain, Ischemic Heart Disease
“A Purchasing Agent for a steel company in Texas became unable to work once her debilitating pain caused by sacroiliitis, degenerative disc disease, and ischemic heart disease became too severe. Benefits were paid for two years, then The Hartford denied the claim stating that the records did not support total disability anymore.
Unable to work and not knowing what she was supposed to do, she sought the help of Fields Disability. Our team requested additional information from her treatment providers and obtained a report from our client’s physician clearly outlining her conditions. The Fields attorneys reviewed the records produced by The Hartford, and the updated records. We also sent her for testing, which objectively demonstrated she did not have the ability to perform any type of work. All the materials were submitted to the insurer for review on appeal. After review, the denial was reversed, our client was paid all past due benefits, and The Hartford reinstated the payment of monthly benefits. ”
Law Office Manager - Friendswood, TX
Chronic Pain, Insomnia, Depression
“A law office manager in Texas was no longer able to work because her chronic back pain was getting so severe that she couldn’t remain seated or sleep properly. She applied for disability benefits under her policy. She was approved for Long Term Disability benefits, and received monthly benefits. After two years, Prudential abruptly ended her benefits stating she no longer met the new policy definition of totally disabled.
Worried about her lost income, she contacted Fields Disability for assistance. The team contacted our client’s treating physicians, and obtained updated medical reports. The Fields attorneys scoured the denial documents noting that Prudential ignored recommendations from one of her treating physicians. After researching the medical record and the file, we submitted a strong appeal. Prudential reversed their denial, and our client received all past due benefits.”
