Success Stories Manager Case Studies Strategy - Appeal a Denial Diagnosis - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Dignosis - Chronic Fatigue Syndome Diagnosis - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
鈥淐hristine鈥� was employed as a data manager at a newspaper when she became terribly ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. For more than a year Christine struggled to continue to work, only to find that each day it became more and more difficult.
Success Stories Manager Case Studies Success Story Diagnosis - Depression
鈥淟arry鈥� was a senior manager at a major consulting firm. As a result of a series of major stresses in both his personal and professional life, Larry was hospitalized with major depression and suicidal ideation. When the insurance company denied Larry鈥檚 claim, Larry hired Riemer Hess to prepare an appeal.
The Firm submitted comprehensive letters from Larry鈥檚 treating psychiatrists, who opined that Larry was disabled from any occupation; detailed statements of Larry鈥檚 family and co-workers, corroborating his incapacity; and an in depth affidavit from Larry describing how depression slowly but surely made him unable to function and took away all joy in his life. The insurance company still denied Larry鈥檚 appeal, asserting that Larry did not submit objective proof of his depression even though it is well known that disability from depression cannot be demonstrated 鈥渙bjectively.鈥�
Riemer Hess immediately commenced a lawsuit on Larry鈥檚 behalf in Federal Court. Our persistence eventually convinced the insurer to settle the case. Larry received a substantial lump sum settlement and can now get on with his life.
