Undergoing a Post-Lumbar Fusion or a Discectomy is a major life event. You expect your recovery to lead to physical relief and a return to normal life. Unfortunately, many patients face intense physical challenges and a frustrating Long-Term Disability Claim Denial. Roberts Disability Law, P.C. stands ready to fight for the benefits you deserve. We understand the physical pain and financial stress you experience daily. Our firm has a proven track record of turning denials into approvals for our clients.

Understanding Post-Lumbar Surgery Limitations

Recovery from a Post-Lumbar Fusion or Discectomy often prevents a return to full-time work. Even after a structurally successful procedure, patients frequently experience failed back syndrome and severe chronic pain. These conditions lead to drastically reduced mobility and strict physical restrictions. Furthermore, the side effects of prescribed pain medication make concentration nearly impossible. This combination of physical limitations, cognitive impairment, and severe pain creates a clear inability to sustain work activity over a normal eight-hour workday. Sitting at a desk, standing for prolonged periods, or lifting basic objects becomes agonizing.

Common Reasons for LTD Denials

Insurance companies frequently deny or terminate benefits to protect their bottom line. They often use the sedentary work argument, claiming you can sit at a desk all day despite your severe spinal pain. Insurers also frequently cite an alleged lack of objective clinical findings. They will cherry-pick your medical records to highlight isolated days where you reported feeling better, completely ignoring your bad days. Insurers regularly use out-of-context video surveillance to misrepresent your daily abilities. In many cases, they rely entirely on flawed file reviews from their own doctors. This aggressive approach results in a sudden claim termination despite your ongoing symptoms.
