Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients Against UNUM
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 case wins against UNUM.
Corliss – Legal Secretary – Washington, District of Columbia
Chest Pain, Dyspnea with Exertion, Heart Transplant, Hip Replacement, Amyloidosis, Loss of a Leg
A legal secretary was forced to stop working at a Washington D.C. law firm due to her disabling chest pain, dyspnea and hip/leg replacement surgeries. Sometime after her exhaustion of Short Term Disability benefits, she applied for Long Term Disability benefits, which was approved by her insurance carrier.
She received Long Term Disability benefits until Unum preemptively terminated her benefits. The attorneys at Fields Law contacted our client’s doctors to compile reports of all of her symptoms and treatments and appealed the decision to terminate benefits. Upon further review, Unum reversed its decision to terminate benefits and issued payments immediately.
