RW ERISA Lawsuit Obtains Recovery for Formerly Successful Attorney Disabled by Traumatic Brain Injury, Overcoming Standard Insurance’s Attempt to Impose Mental and Nervous Disorder Limitations

ERISA Long Term Disability

Our client graduated first in his class from a highly respected private law school. After practicing successfully for more than twenty years he suffered a “mild” traumatic brain injury when his car was rear-ended by a speeding car. He became unable to handle the cognitive and emotional demands of his sophisticated law practice. Standard denied the claim asserting his disability was caused by a preexisting, and previously well controlled bipolar disorder. We developed a massive body of evidence concerning the cause of disability, then filed suit in federal court. After obtaining two important favorable rulings from the judge, obtained a favorable settlement of past and future benefits.
