This was a long-term disability case in which our client was forced to stop working after having a large tumor removed from her brain. Although the procedure was successful, our client was still burdened by debilitating side effects and neurocognitive deficits that impacted her quality of life. In January 2016, the client contacted our firm because her insurance provider terminated her benefits for the second time. The insurer justified their decision by claiming that our client was neurologically sound. They also falsely alleged that our client stopped taking her medication and that her persisting medical issues were related to an eye condition. In truth, our client never stopped taking her medications; she just switched to an online pharmacy – an understandable error by the insurer. However, the claim regarding our client’s neurological condition was entirely fictitious, and summarily disproven by 8 previous neuropsychological examinations that unanimously agreed our client was disabled for life. In short, our client suffered tremendous stress and anxiety because the insurance provider denied their benefits without any supporting evidence. They were handily defeated, and the insurer, acknowledging their negligence, reinstated our client’s benefits before the deadline. Thanks to the efforts of our firm and the support of her family, our client is on track to receive more than $1, 406,000 in benefits while she remains disabled.
