Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients in Pennsylvania
Fields Law Firm successfully recovers millions of dollars each year for our disabled clients throughout the United States. Our Long Term Disability 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 appeal and lawsuit case wins in Pennsylvania.
Peter – Equipment Operator – Loysville, Pennsylvania
Arthritis, Coronary Artery Disease, Anxiety, Atrial Fibrillation, Back Pain
An equipment operator from Pennsylvania suffered from arthritis, lower back pain, coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. His symptoms were severe and he was forced to stop working. He received Long Term Disability benefits for two years until suddenly, his insurer stopped paying his benefits, insisting that he was able to work again.
Confused by the sudden loss of benefits, he contacted Fields Law for help with an appeal. The Fields Law attorneys contacted Prudential for all of their records, and contacted our client’s doctors for additional records. Our client had a very short timeline to get his appeal in. Our attorneys were able to meet every deadline, even though Prudential refused to extend a single date. The appeal was submitted on-time, and our client was granted ongoing Long Term Disability benefits and a lump-sum check for back-pay.
Derek – Conveyor Mechanic Assistant – Milford, Pennsylvania
Back Pain, Collapsed Arches in Feet
A conveyor maintenance mechanic from Pennsylvania injured his back at work. His job required clearing conveyor belts of obstructions and debris, as well as repairing the belts as needed. One day he had to lift a 100-pound box of wire as part of a repair project. He injured his back and the pain was so severe that he was forced to stop working. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits through work but was denied.
Worried about his loss of income, he contacted Fields Law for assistance. Our attorneys immediately contacted the insurance company for a copy of the claim file and asked our client’s doctors for medical records. The insurance company did not thoroughly review the medical record before making their decision. Our attorneys sent a strong appeal to the insurer, citing specific reports from doctors who said our client could not return to work. The insurance company overturned their denial and our client is receiving his monthly benefits again.
