Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Sun Life Financial.
Nadeem – Doctor – Stockton, California
Mitochondrial Myopathy, Nephropathy, Fatigue, Depression, Insomnia
A doctor from California began experiencing intense bouts of fatigue, depression, and insomnia after an extended trip out of the country to visit family. His symptoms did not improve, and he was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy and forced to stop working. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits through his insurance company at work, but was denied because Sun Life Financial said he was not working as a full time employee at the time of his disability.
Worried about his lost income and still unable to return to work, he called Fields Law for help. Our team obtained the full claim file from Sun Life Financial and our attorneys scoured the record for places where they made legal or factual errors. Our attorneys found that Sun Life Financial misinterpreted the policy as it applied to our client’s employment. The Fields Law attorneys drafted a strong appeal to Sun Life Financial based on strong legal research. Sun Life Financial changed their mind and overturned the decision, and our client received a lump-sum check for back pay and ongoing monthly benefits. He was pleased with the diligent advocacy from Fields Law Firm.
