Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Sedgwick.
Angela – Department Manager – Meridian, Idaho
Erythromelalgia (EM), Compression Fractures in Back
A department manager for a large retailer developed a rare condition called erythromelalgia, which affected the circulation to her hands and feet. She also had compression fractures in her back. Eventually, the pain and her functional limitations forced her to stop working. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits, but was denied on application. Sedgwick claimed there was not enough medical documentation to support a consistent inability to work.
After a quick internet search, she found Fields Law Firm to represent her. Our attorneys mapped out the appeal process for her and gave her an accurate picture of what to expect from day one. The Fields Law team acquired updated medical records, a functional capacity assessment, and secured letters of support from her physician specialist. They then crafted a lengthy appeal, attacking or addressing all of Sedgwick’s claims in their denial letter. The Fields Law team submitted the appeal to Sedgwick. Upon review, they overturned their prior denial decision, instating Long Term benefits and issuing a check for the backpay owed to our client.
