Shelly – Special Education Support Specialist – Lewes, Delaware
Back Pain, Disc Displacement Degeneration
An education support specialist from Delaware began experiencing back pain. Her job required bending, lifting, and interacting with students. Eventually the pain became too much and she was forced to stop work. Her insurance company initially approved her for Short Term Disability benefits, but after a few months the disability payments stopped. The insurance company said she no longer fit their definition of “disabled.” Her doctors wrote CIGNA letters in response to no avail.
Worried about her lost income she contacted Fields Law for help. The Fields Law attorneys gathered documents from the insurance company and our client’s doctors to build the best case for our client. Our attorneys sent a strong appeal to CIGNA, highlighting doctor’s reports that were previously overlooked. CIGNA overturned their decision and our client received ongoing benefits and a lump sum payment for back-pay. Our client was happy with the decision, and was pleased with the service Fields Law provided.
