“I was working as a dispatcher and started having leg pain. It was getting bad.
I realized the problem was serious when I was trying to hike on a trail, and I couldn’t walk. It was an excruciating event. I became bedbound and ultimately hospitalized. The hospital staff referred me to Northwest Justice Project.
I didn’t know much about NJP, but my long-term insurance company was not working with me on providing disability insurance. Instead of being able to focus on getting healthier, I was busy fighting with an insurance company. That stress made everything worse.
I had to admit that I needed help. I am a proud person and I want to do everything on my own. But I knew I needed NJP, so I completed the application. My NJP attorney stepped in and helped me out. She stayed by my side to make sure I understood the whole process.
Thanks to NJP, I won the case and I now receive long-term disability. I can focus on getting better.”
