Short & Long Term Disability Lawsuit Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients
Fields Law Firm successfully recovers millions of dollars each year for our disabled clients throughout the United States. Our Long Term Disability litigation experience is matched by very few other law firms in the country and has earned us a national reputation.
Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability lawsuit case wins.
Janice – Mortgage Loan Processor – Rock Hill, South Carolina
Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Right Hip Bursitis
“A Mortgage Loan Processor from South Carolina was forced to stop working due to chronic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, and right hip bursitis. After more than three years of receiving Long Term Disability, her insurance company made the decision to discontinue her benefits. After an unsuccessful attempt to get her benefits reinstated, she turned to Fields Law Firm for help.
Our Disability Attorneys put together a strong appeal including her most up-to-date medical records, but the insurance company continued to uphold their denial. In response our team filed a lawsuit against them for the non-payment of benefits. After a few months of litigation, Fields Law Firm was able to reach a settlement with them which will provide financial security to our client for years to come.”
Anna – Public Schools Employee – Fairbault, Minnesota
Trigeminal Neuralgia
A public-school employee with trigeminal neuralgia was no longer able to work. After she applied for Long Term Disability benefits herself but was denied, she contacted the team at Fields Law Firm for assistance.
Because our client had appealed her claim once already, the Fields Law Firm attorneys filed a lawsuit for the benefits owed to her. Our team gathered medical documentation detailing the severity of our client’s conditions that strengthened our position, which put enough pressure on the insurer to engage in settlement negotiations. Our client was presented with an offer to end the dispute. She accepted the deal and walked away with a significant lump sum payout.
Rich – Customer Relations – Cavalier, North Dakota
Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder
A customer relations specialist with circadian rhythm sleep disorder had tried numerous times and various treatments to restore his circadian rhythm, but to no avail, until his condition became too problematic for him to work. He applied for disability benefits through an insurance policy provided by his employer and his claim was accepted. However, the insurance company denied his benefits after 24 months, based on the contention that the client was only disabled due to mental health conditions.
After being denied, he signed up with Fields Law Firm. We appealed the denial, but the insurer refused to consider the neurological cause of our client’s conditions that was clearly documented in the medical records. The attorneys at Fields Law Firm prepared to file a lawsuit against the insurer. However, after contacting the insurer and pointing out their numerous errors, our attorneys were able to negotiate an early settlement for our client.
