Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients in Ohio

Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal and lawsuit case wins in Ohio.
Rhonda – Project Director – Cincinnati, Ohio
Back Pain, Radiculopathy, Complications from Hip Replacement
A project director from Ohio began feeling pain and numbness following a hip replacement. She was unable to stay in one position and suffered from severe pain. Her doctor diagnosed her with a damaged femoral nerve and recommended she stop working. She received Long Term Disability benefits for a few months, but then CIGNA stopped payments, saying that she did not submit enough evidence of her inability to work. She sent an appeal with additional medical records to no avail.
Worried about her lost income, she contacted Fields Law Firm for help with the next step. Our support team obtained medical records from all our client’s doctors. The Fields Law attorneys drafted a strong appeal to CIGNA using the updated medical records and in-depth legal research. In the face of this new evidence, CIGNA changed its mind. Our client received a large lump-sum for backpay as well as ongoing monthly benefits.
