The Law Offices of Lori A. Gaglione recently won a case for Mrs. Janine F. who suffered from chronic pain and fatigue. Those symptoms prevented her from performing her job duties.
Janine’s diagnosis was originally Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. These cases can be notoriously difficult to win because of the inherent “prejudice” toward the condition which cannot be objectively diagnosed. Disability therefore lies heavily on credibility. Lori Gaglione was able to obtain statements from the claimant’s former supervisors and co-workers corroborating her statements regarding her symptoms at work. We were also able to get the claimant to a specialized doctor who was able to confirm that, in fact, she had Lyme Disease, which is known to cause Fibromyalgia. This was enormously helpful to winning this case.
