Lincoln Life Claim involving cervical spine, left shoulder, elbow, and bicep injuries, and an inability to lift more than 10-15 pounds

This is the Court of Appeals Oral Argument.In the District Court, the case involves Bryce Dunham-Zemberi's challenge to the denial of long-term disability benefits under ERISA. The medical conditions involve the cervical spine, left shoulder, elbow, and bicep injuries, as well as his inability to lift more than 10-15 pounds and failed grip and pinch strength tests. The court reviewed extensive medical evidence, including physicians' and specialists' reports, physical therapy records, and a Residual Functional Capacity Evaluation. The evidence did not unanimously support the plaintiff's claimed disabilities. The court found that the plaintiff failed to provide sufficient objective medical evidence to establish his disability claim under the terms of the plan, upholding the insurer's decision to deny long-term disability benefits.These public domain recordings are brought to you by Ben Glass Law, a national long term disability and life insurance firm headquartered in Fairfax, VA.By making these recordings into a "podcast," we've made the listening easier for claimants, attorneys and claims adjusters alike.
