Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients in Washington
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 Washington.
Micah – Maintenance Manager – Kelso, Washington
Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety
A Maintenance Manager from Washington came to the Fields Law team after being denied Long Term Disability benefits due to serious mental health issues. His occupation required that he have good communication and organizational skills, which were impossible in his current state of mind. He suffered from persistent agitation, anxiousness, and decreased concentration, which required bi-weekly therapy visits and (unsuccessful) medications to manage.
After being removed from work and applying for Long Term Disability benefits, Lincoln Financial asserted that, based on the medical review, there was no basis to support psychiatric impairments that functionally impaired him from his occupation. Scared and worried about his financial situation, he reached out to Fields Law for help through this confusing process.
Our Team assured our client that we would do everything we could to get him the benefits he deserved. Our attorneys gathered the necessary medical evidence and submitted an appeal that picked apart the reasoning behind Lincoln Financial’s denial. Our attorneys noted several instances in the medical records that demonstrated our client was indeed disabled from his own occupation. Following the appeal, Lincoln Financial approved benefits for part of our client’s disability period. The Fields Law team, however, continues to fight for our client to get him everything he deserves.
