Cardiomyopathy Overwhelms  Senior Corporate Executive

Written by Riemer Law | Jul 14, 2017

“Jerry,” a 53 year old self-proclaimed workaholic, was a senior executive at a Fortune 500 corporation. As a result of his constant fatigue and shortness of breath, he no longer had the stamina for the twelve hour days and international travel required of his job. Jerry and his employment attorney contacted our Long Term Disability NY Lawyer for help with Jerry’s disability application.

Riemer Hess worked with Jerry and his attorney to complete the employee portion of the benefit application. A meeting was held with Jerry’s cardiologist to work through the details of a comprehensive report and opinion making it clear that Jerry could no longer work at his job.

When the insurance company requested that Jerry attend an examination by another cardiologist, Riemer Hess researched the qualifications of the cardiologist, met with Jerry to prepare for the examination and arranged for a nurse to attend the examination. The nurse monitored the examination and later created a detailed report which was submitted to the insurance company.

Jerry was granted benefits by the insurance company. Riemer Hess continues to work with Jerry to ensure that his benefits are not interrupted.
