Success Stories | Dabdoub Law Firm

Cervicalgia & Low Back Pain: New York Life

A Chicago resident with debilitating cervicalgia and severe back pain faced financial uncertainty after New York Life wrongfully terminated her long-term disability benefits.

Long COVID & Chronic Fatigue: Prudential

An Auburn, AL resident battling long COVID, cognitive impairment, and chronic fatigue had her initial long-term disability claim denied by Prudential, leaving her without critical financial support.

Neurological Impairments & Hemiparesis: The Standard

An Iowa client with neurological impairments and hemiparesis experienced severe disability but had his long-term disability benefits wrongfully denied by The Standard.

Video Surveillance: Unum

In an attempt to deny benefits, UNUM conducted video surveillance of our client, mistakenly believing they had evidence that he was not disabled.

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.

VISION LOSS: HARTFORD

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.
