disability benefits, claiming that Jane could still perform her job duties and was therefore not disabled nor entitled to benefits under the policy. Lincoln further claimed the evidence she presented was insufficient to prove her case, despite her treating physicians’ unwavering opinions. We worked closely with Jane to help her build her claim carefully and systematically with new, undeniable evidence far beyond what was presented to Lincoln before they denied the claim. With Jane’s help, we worked with her treating physician to create a more detailed expert opinion beyond what was in her medical chart. These were made into formal, signed statements. Jane’s husband also completed an affidavit of his observations of Jane’s difficulties. Jane’s new description of how many ways her symptoms affected her life was compelling. She described how some of the medications she had to take caused her to experience dizziness and brain fog, affecting the quality of her work. Thankfully, when presented with undeniable new evidence in Jane’s appeal and copies of court opinions, and our case law research finding where judges had awarded benefits under fact scenarios similar to our client’s case, Lincoln finally did the right thing. They paid her for all past- due benefits and reinstated her benefits under the policy going forward. d, and Finally Delivered ospice Nurse’s Insurance Appeal
BONFIRES, BREWS, AND BRILLIANT LIGHTS! Check Out Louisiana’s December Delights
Check out these three events that make it feel like Christmas!
Bonfires on the Levee, Dec. 24 This tradition dates back to the 1700s! Drive along the Mississippi River levee to view this Louisiana Christmas Eve tradition — log pyramids as large as 20 feet are lit on fire along the levee between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Those who build the fires say they light the way for Papa Noel, Cajun Santa, so he can guide his reindeer and sleigh to the children. The display is just stunning, with families and friends building towering blazing pyramids and even small homes, boats, and alligators! You’ll find bonfires all along the levee but concentrated in areas close to Gramercy, Lutcher, and Paulina. It’s a must-see!

Abita Brew Pub, Abita Springs The Abita Brew Pub is known for its craft beers and is located on a long biking trail we used to ride with our kids. But you may not have known it’s a hidden gem of holiday light displays. The whole restaurant is covered with colorful lights. The brew pub has also put on various small shows, and visitors can even tune in to a radio station featuring music synced up to the flashing lights. Though Abita Springs is a small town, this display makes it a great place to pass through for the holidays. Check out AbitaBrewPub.com to learn more. Natchitoches Christmas Festival, Nov. 20–Jan. 6 Dating back to 1927, the Natchitoches’ Christmas lights are legendary — definitely some of the best in Louisiana! It features more than 100 lighted sets and over 300,000 individual twinkling bulbs. The display runs along the Cane River and illuminates the water’s surface, where there’s also a lighted boat parade. The Natchitoches decorations have won countless awards, and if you visit on a Saturday, you’ll also see a fireworks show.
