Case Details
Attorney Jonathan T. Macedo assisted a Business Analyst with an ERISA-governed long-term disability appeal. The client suffered from severe Dilatin induced neuropathy and complex regional pain syndrome and was fired due to a 'business reorganization.' Her initial short-term and long-term disability claims were denied. Attorney Macedo successfully argued against the 'Actively at Work' provision and later against the insurance carrier's selective use of medical records, leading to the approval of long-term disability benefits, including nearly two years of retroactive payments.
