At the Ortiz Law Firm, we know that navigating the complexities of disability claims can be overwhelming, especially when insurance companies deny benefits due to a lack of so-called “objective evidence.” A recent case illustrates the challenges our client faced and how we stepped in to help her secure the benefits she rightfully deserved. The Client’s Situation: A Digital Coach for Walmart Our client, a digital coach for Walmart, began experiencing a variety of debilitating symptoms. Despite ongoing testing and treatment, her doctors were still in the process of diagnosing the underlying cause of her health issues. As a result, she was placed on short-term disability (STD) to give her time to seek answers and treatment for her condition. After just seven weeks of receiving STD benefits, Sedgwick, the third-party administrator handling her claim, cut off her benefits. The reason? Sedgwick claimed there was a lack of “objective findings” to…

128. Bevy Of Willkie Partners Depart For Biglaw Firm That Will Actually Stand Up For The Rule Of Law

There is a mass exodus of West Coast-based Willkie Farr partners leaving because the firm bent a knee to Donald Trump, pledging $100 million in pro bono payola to avoid an unconstitutional Executive Orders targeting the firm, and the tremendous harm that can bring. According to reporting by the Wall Street Journal, at least seven partners, six in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles, are leaving the yellow-bellied firm and heading to a firm committed to defending the rule of law. They’ll be moving to Cooley, a firm fighting for the rule of law and representing Jenner & Block in their challenge to the Trump EOs. This mass departure is a potentially dire sign for Willkie’s San Francisco office. The exodus of partners could decimate Willkie’s San Francisco office, which it opened six years ago to cater to California’s technology industry.

131. Some Ups and Downs in the Realm of Consumer Protection

  • 3 days ago schedule
  • truthonthemarket.com language

Consumer protection authority has long been a staple of the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) enforcement of the FTC Act, beginning with the 1938 Wheeler-Lea amendments to the agency’s establishing statute. And Congress drew an express connection between the FTC’s competition and consumer protection authorities with the introduction of Section 5(n) of the FTC Act, which stipulates that: [t]he Commission shall have no authority under this section or section 57a of this title to declare unlawful an act or practice on the grounds that such act or practice is unfair unless the act or practice causes or is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers which is not reasonably avoidable by consumers themselves and not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or to competition. This authority is not so far from my competition expertise, such as it is. Not a little of my research—and competition advocacy—has focused on the competitive…

137. A New Digital Dawn for Syrian Tech Users

  • 4 days ago schedule
  • eff.org language

U.S. sanctions on Syria have for several decades not only restricted trade and financial transactions, they’ve also severely limited Syrians’ access to digital technology. From software development tools to basic cloud services, Syrians were locked out of the global internet economy—stifling innovation, education, and entrepreneurship. EFF has for many years pushed for sanctions exemptions for technology in Syria, as well as in Sudan, Iran, and Cuba. While civil society had early wins in securing general licenses for Iran and Sudan allowing the export of communications technologies, the conflict in Syria that began in 2011 made loosening of sanctions a pipe dream. But recent changes to U.S. policy could mark the beginning of a shift. In a quiet yet significant move, the U.S. government has eased sanctions on Syria. On May 23, the Treasury Department issued General License 25, effectively allowing technology companies to provide services to Syrians. This…
