Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Madison National.
Dennis – Custodian – Lake Lillian, Minnesota
Bilateral Knee Problems
An insurance company took away benefits from a disabled custodian who worked at public school. The man suffered from bilateral knee problems because he injured both of his knees when he fell on ice. The insurance company argued that the custodian was able to perform a sedentary or light job, and therefore, was not entitled to benefits. Madison National based its decision on results of a functional capacity evaluation that was never even conducted.
The former custodian retained Fields Law Firm to represent him in appealing the erroneous decision. Our team prepared an appeal by gathering evidence to show that our client is precluded from performing the substantial and material duties of any job. This meant obtaining support from his doctors and a vocational expert. We were successful in our appeal and our client was awarded his benefits. He was relieved knowing that he had financial security despite his inability to work.
