A dispatcher at Disney World Services became disabled and unable to work. He was approved for and received Short Term Disability benefits, which ran from his date of disability, through its exhaustion. After the expiration of his Short Term benefits, he became eligible for Long Term Disability benefits from his policy’s carrier. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but his application was denied because The Hartford determined he did not meet the Definition of Disability.

The attorneys at Fields Law contacted our client’s doctors to compile reports of all of his symptoms and treatments. Our attorneys and submitted a comprehensive appeal. After a short period of time, The Hartford decided to overturn its previous denial of benefits, and retroactively paid our client back all his Long Term Disability benefits immediately.
