A once-healthy businessman from Radware, Inc. had his life changed forever in a serious boating accident on April 16, 2019. While he desperately wanted to return to his job as a successful regional sales manager in Cumming, Georgia, his injuries rendered him unable, and he filed a disability claim with Cigna LINA (Life Insurance Company of North America). While Cigna initially approved his short-term disability claim, they quickly reversed their decision and terminated the claim due to “insufficient information.”
With Dabdoub Law Firm’s help, our client was able to make a successful appeal and reinstate his claim. Our firm also helped him recover long-term disability benefits.
Our Client’s Well-Documented Boat Accident Claim
Because our client was injured in a serious boat accident, emergency responders documented his injuries almost immediately. The man hit his head on a metal rod holder, slammed onto the deck of a boat, and was rushed to Homestead Hospital immediately afterward. Emergency documentation reflects our client’s head trauma, pain, and bleeding, and follow-up appointments and MRIs revealed severe injuries to the back and spine. Finally, a CT scan of our client’s abdomen and pelvis found he was suffering from early acute pancreatitis and descending colon diverticulosis.
With all these proven ailments, our client should have been granted disability benefits with no fanfare. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened.
Dabdoub Law Firm Emphasizes the Evidence
Cigna went back and forth with their claims decision and accused our client of providing insufficient information for his claim. To counter this ridiculous accusation, we sent the insurance company a CD with over 15 supporting documents, including our client’s medical records, prescription history, pre-existing condition questionnaire, Social Security Disability Insurance application, doctor’s letters, and photographs.
With this proof and our legal prowess, Cigna had no choice but to award our client the benefits he deserved.
