Podiatrist Unable to Practice Due to Injuries Receives 7-Figure Insurance Settlement

Our client, a podiatrist, was unable to perform his duties due to debilitating back and neck injuries. The disability carrier denied his claim contending that there was insufficient objective evidence of injuries that could prevent him from performing the procedures requires in his practice.

The insurance company argued, among other things, that the claimant was partially, and not totally, disabled.

This formula set forth in our client’s policy for Residual Disability provision of his Disability Insurance policy provided for only a fraction of the benefits allowed by the disability insurance provision.

The case settled with a 7-figure settlement.
