Dabdoub Law Firm has secured another appellate case victory for a client in need. An Orlando man who suffered two strokes had his long-term disability (LTD) benefits cut short by Hartford, but Attorney Latanae Parker was not going to let that happen without a fight. With a thorough letter to demand the reinstatement of the benefits and the promise to litigate if needed, she convinced the insurer to reverse its decision and continue providing the much-needed benefits to our client.
Details of the Stroke Complications Case
Our client was happy to work as an Electrical Supervisor, which required him to work 50+ hours each week and often get up at 4:00 AM. Even with his busy work schedule, he was known for spending all his free time outdoors or completing household projects; such was the extent of his energy and enjoyment of life. Indeed, he was so determined to appreciate his work that he continued to try to work after suffering a stroke in 2021, taking three months of rest and recovery.
However, in 2023, he suffered a second stroke that left him with even more severe complications and permanent debilitation. He had to stop working entirely due to a variety of lasting symptoms like dizziness, chronic pain, cognitive impairment, fatigue, and more. Small tasks like tying his shoes became dangerous and overly complicated for him.
Initially, Hartford approved of his long-term disability benefits because the extent of his disability was inarguably obvious. Yet only a few years later, the insurer canceled his LTD benefits unexpectedly and early. Why? Had he suddenly shown improvements and a capability to work in any capacity again? No, he had not. Oppositely, further medical reviews from his primary care physician, cardiologist, and other specialists showed that he showed no remarkable signs of improvement and may even be gradually declining in health due to the strokes.
Attorney Parker has worked on many appellate cases for disability claim clients, so she was unfortunately not surprised to learn that Hartford had cut his benefits short for no conceivable reason. But that also meant that she knew how to quickly challenge that decision and pressure the insurer with medical evidence, testimony, and legal authority. With the strength of the entire Dabdoub Law Firm backing her words, she convinced the insurance company to reverse its course before it had to face our tenacious litigators in court. Our client’s LTD benefits were restored fully.
