HARTFORD AGREES TO LONG TERM DISABILITY BUYOUT
Attorney Victor Peña, of Victor Peña Law, PLLC successfully negotiated a lump sum buyout for a claimant who had no luck securing a disability settlement with his former attorneys. This 49-year-old, former employee of a major American media conglomerate had become frustrated dealing with Hartford’s ongoing review after receiving long term disability benefits for over 20 years. He was disabled as a result of several herniated discs and his condition was not going to improve. Since he had no heart conditions, no history of cancer and no history of smoking he was a good candidate for a buyout.
However, before contacting us, he hired a large national disability law firm that was unable to secure a disability settlement for him despite trying for several months. After several unsuccessful attempts to secure a buyout, Mr. A received a letter from his lawyers advising him they were no longer pursing the claim on his behalf. He contacted Victor Peña Law for help. Following a discussion of the claim history and a review of the recent claim forms with the claimant, Attorney Victor Peña agreed to help. Within one week Mr. Peña was able to secure a disability buyout offer from The Hartford. He had 16 years remaining on his policy with a present value of over $276,000.00 and he wished to part ways with the Hartford. Following some negotiations, the client agreed to the buyout.
This case is a perfect example of the difference between a general disability law firm and a law firm that focuses on handling long term disability buyouts.
