Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients in Rhode Island
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 Rhode Island.
David – Senior Maintenance Supervisor – Johnston, Rhode Island
Herniated Discs, Back Pain, Atrial Fibrillation, Fibromyalgia, Memory Issues
A senior maintenance supervisor became disabled from work because his herniated discs, memory issues, back pain, atrial fibrillation, and fibromyalgia became so debilitating that he could no longer perform his job. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits and remained on claim for two years before being denied. Knowing he needed help to fight the denial, he retained Fields Law Firm to represent him.
The Fields Law Firm team requested our client’s updated medical records, and we obtained a letter of support from his recent treating providers. We appealed the decision, and the insurer upheld the denial, but the Fields Disability attorneys were able to negotiate directly with the insurance company and secured a lump sum settlement for our client without having to go through a long and costly lawsuit.
Tracee – Pharmaceutical Quality Control – Warwick, Rhode Island
Anxiety, Depression, COPD, Insomnia, Substance Abuse
A quality control worker for a pharmaceutical company was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and COPD. Her symptoms forced her to stop working. She was initially approved for Long Term Disability benefits through her insurer at work, but after two years of benefits, the insurance company stopped payment.
Worried about her lost income, she contacted Fields Law for assistance. Our attorneys gathered medical records from all of our client’s doctors and reviewed the insurance claim file. There was ample evidence that our client was still disabled and unable to work. Our attorneys filed an appeal to the insurer, but the insurance company did not change their mind. The Fields Law attorneys filed a lawsuit in federal court to fight for our client. During preparations for trial, our attorneys negotiated a generous settlement. Our client was happy with the settlement check and pleased that the fight with her insurance company was over.
