When an insurer denied a cardiac surgeon’s long-term disability claim stating that he was still able to work as a non-surgical cardiologist, he engaged the insurer in a lengthy battle, but he could not succeed in getting his claim paid. After many years and numerous unsuccessful attempts to convince the insurer to reverse its determination, he hired Quadrino Schwartz.
The firm worked diligently to untangle a web of “missing” documents and to establish facts intentionally misconstrued and otherwise ignored by the insurer. Quadrino Schwartz demonstrated that pursuant to the terms of his “own occupation” policy, the doctor’s inability to work as a cardiovascular surgeon rendered him disabled, notwithstanding his ability to work in his office as a non-surgical cardiologist.
As a result of Quadrino Schwartz’s relentless efforts, after only several months, the claim was approved and our client received past due benefits going back many years, totaling nearly two million
($2,000,000.) dollars.
