2) MetLife Reverses its Decision to Terminate Long Term Disability benefits after Osterhout Berger file its Appeal.

MetLife terminated the benefits of our client, an Executive Administrative Assistant after she had been receiving disability benefits for only eleven months.?Our client suffered from significant limitations in the use of her arms and hands as a result of medical conditions, including neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and cubital tunnel syndrome.?

After the client retained us, Attorney Berger obtained updated medical treatment notes and medical opinions from our client’s treating physicians and a detailed vocational report.?Attorney Berger also filed an extensive brief arguing why MetLife was unreasonable in terminating benefits and after a review of all of our submissions, MetLife reversed its previous decision and reinstated benefits, resulting in our client receiving almost one year of past due benefits and ongoing benefits.

3) Osterhout Berger assists Amazon Employee in her Claim for Benefits from The Hartford.

The Hartford denied our client’s claim for Long Term disability benefits due to a lack of medical documentation.?Our client suffered from significant mental impairments, to include a persistent mood disorder and anxiety disorder.?After being retained by the client, who worked for Amazon, Attorney Berger obtained all of the medical evidence, along with a detailed statement from our client’s treating physician and a comprehensive vocational report.?This evidence was enough to persuade The Hartford to overturn its previous decision and award our client her much-needed Long Term disability benefits.
