Attorney Noah and Paralegal Ren secured long term disability benefits and life waiver of premium benefits from Unum Life Insurance Company of America after an initial denial. Unum denied the claim by taking the position that the client was not disabled under the policy.

The client suffers from post-concussion syndrome and POTS, which caused disabling symptoms that prevented the client from continuing to work.
On appeal, our team submitted evidence showing the severity of the client’s conditions and how those symptoms limited the client’s ability to work.

Based on that evidence, Unum reversed its denial and approved both long term disability benefits and life waiver of premium benefits.

Congratulations to Noah, Ren, and our intake team for their work on this case.

Attorney Kaci and Paralegal Ren secured long term disability benefits from The Prudential Insurance Company of America after the claim was initially denied. Prudential denied the claim by taking the position that the client could still perform her own occupation as a CEO.

The client had managed chronic Crohn’s disease for many years, but her symptoms eventually became too severe and too frequent for her to continue working. Because her occupation required extensive travel, the severity and unpredictability of her condition prevented her from reliably performing the material duties of her job.

On appeal, our team submitted evidence proving that the client could not perform her occupation as a CEO, especially given the travel demands required by her role. Based on that evidence, Prudential overturned its denial and approved her long term disability benefits.

Congratulations to Kaci, Ren, and our intake team for their work on this case.

Attorney Kaitlyn and Paralegal Ren secured short term and long term disability benefits from New York Life after the claim was initially denied. New York Life denied the claim stating the client could perform her own occupation as a nurse because she attempted to return to work.

The client suffers from central pain syndrome, cervical spondylotic myelopathy, radiculopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal stenosis, hypertension, and vertigo. Despite her efforts to return to work, the medical evidence showed she did not have the functional capacity to sustain even sedentary work.

On appeal, our team submitted updated medical records, physician opinion forms, detailed physician letters, and a vocational evaluation demonstrating that her return-to-work efforts should not be used against her and that she lacked the ability to perform her occupation. Based on this evidence, New York Life overturned its short-term disability denial and approved her long term disability benefits.

Congratulations to Kaitlyn, Ren, and our intake team for their work on this case.

EBA Is Proud to Support the 2026 Walk to Cure Arthritis Youth Honoree!

We are incredibly proud to share that Lucille Russell, daughter of our own paralegal Ren, has been named the Youth Honoree for the 2026 Walk to Cure Arthritis in Nashville.

Lucille has lived with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since she was just two years old. Over the years, she has endured countless doctor visits, joint injections, weekly shots, infusions, and in 2025 developed Uveitis that led to a cataract and severe joint pain. Through it all, she continues to show remarkable strength and courage.

On May 3, 2026, Ren and her family will walk as Team Seal Lucille in support of arthritis research and awareness.

We would love for our EBA family, friends, and community to rally behind Lucille. You can register as a Virtual Walker to show your support, and donations are always appreciated.
Let’s stand with Lucille and everyone living with arthritis. 💜
