Cervicalgia & Low Back Pain: New York Life
A Chicago resident suffering from cervicalgia and severe back pain turned to Dabdoub Law Firm after New York Life wrongfully terminated her long-term disability benefits. Our attorney successfully appealed the decision, presenting overwhelming medical evidence that proved our client could not return to work, ultimately securing the reinstatement of her benefits.
Long COVID & Chronic Fatigue: Prudential
An Auburn, AL resident suffering from long COVID, cognitive impairment, and chronic fatigue had her long-term disability claim approved after Dabdoub Law Firm intervened. Our attorneys successfully secured the much-needed LTD benefits from Prudential, ensuring our client had the financial support she deserved while managing her debilitating health conditions.
Neurological Impairments & Hemiparesis: The Standard
An Iowa client suffering from neurological impairments, hemiparesis, and debilitating symptoms had his long-term disability benefits wrongfully denied by The Standard. Dabdoub Law Firm successfully appealed the denial, presenting overwhelming medical evidence, including a functional capacity evaluation, and secured the LTD benefits our client rightfully deserved.
Video Surveillance: Unum
UNUM conducted video surveillance of our client in an effort to prove he was not disabled, and he was able to work. However, they took video of the wrong person. We were able to prove they did not get video surveillance of our client, but of someone else. Our client was totally disabled and UNUM reinstated the benefits.
VISION ISSUES: GUARDIAN INSURANCE
Our client was a Research Ops Specialist who found that she could not continue her work due to developing retinitis pigmentosa, a debilitating eye disease. Guardian Insurance showed no interest in even reviewing her claim for disability benefits. Our attorneys stepped in, explained how her eye condition was disabling, and reminded Guardian of its obligation to use good faith when processing a policyholder’s claim.
Vision Loss
Due to vision loss and other severe conditions and symptoms, our client from Tampa, FL, had to leave the workforce and submit a long-term disability (LTD) claim with New York Life. Despite sufficient medical reports demonstrating her eligibility, the insurance carrier denied her claim in December 2021. Dabdoub Law Firm supported our client in her appeal of New York Life’s wrongful decision until she could secure the benefits she needed.
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Our Venice, FL almost died and spent 25 days in the hospital – and this was only the start of his medical problems. After multiple hospitalizations, he was diagnosed with a rare disorder called Wegener’s granulomatosis, which causes inflammation in the blood vessels in the nose, sinuses, throat, lungs, and kidneys. Without treatment, the condition can be fatal, so our client understandably took time away from work to focus on recovery. The Hartford approved our client’s claim for long-term disability (LTD) benefits, then terminated them, even though our client’s condition had not changed. Dabdoub Law Firm stepped in to set things right.
WRIST PAIN: PRINCIPAL LIFE
An ophthalmologist specializing in eye surgeries and injections had to stop working due to worsening wrist pain. Dabdoub Law Firm helped him secure total disability benefits from an individual disability policy purchased through Principal Life Insurance Company.
OFF-SITE BACK INJURY
After an off-site back injury, our client suffered from several types of chronic back pain and was rendered unable to work. Guardian paid long-term disability benefits for 3 years before canceling them with no supporting evidence. Dabdoub Law Firm helped this Brooksville, Florida man get his benefits back by providing information about physicians, prescriptions, and the results of an independent Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE).
