Our client contacted our office after receiving notice that their long-term disability benefits were being discontinued when the insurance company determined they could return to work. However, due to serious back, knee, and shoulder problems, our client was unable to perform their physically demanding job. We submitted an appeal, which was wrongly denied, so our office filed a lawsuit on their behalf. Although the defendant initially offered $25,000 to settle, we declined and proceeded to mediation. Less than two years after being cut off from benefits, our client secured a $150,000 settlement—a result that restored both financial stability and peace of mind.
