In a case led by Attorney Geannina Burgos, Dabdoub Law Firm has successfully secured long-term disability benefits for a man in Chicago. After cancer surgery, he was left with a “frozen” jaw that is constantly immobilized and causes chronic pain and speech impediments, making his work as a compliance attorney impossible. We are thankful that New York Life accepted the claim without much pushback once it was filed by Attorney Burgos, so now our client has the disability benefits he needs.
Details of the “Frozen” Jaw Case
Our client required surgery to remove cancerous growths in 2017. As a side effect of the surgery, he suffered a “frozen” jaw, which means it is essentially immobilized without being paralyzed. He is unable to move his jaw more than one (1) centimeter and attempting to talk worsens the pain that he already must constantly endure. Effectively, he has a severe speech impediment and cannot talk at all.
In his career as a compliance attorney and a high-office director for Capital One, our client needed to communicate verbally with others on a daily basis. After his surgery that left his jaw “frozen,” he still tried to work for a short while because he loved his job. However, he had to stop due to the disabling speech impediment and pain.
Coming to Dabdoub Law Firm, he was able to find the legal counsel and moral support he needed when filing for disability benefits. Using information from his treating provider, Attorney Burgos clearly described how his condition was fully and permanently disabling. New York Life agreed to grant his long-term disability benefits without the need for a legal fight.
