Short & Long Term Disability Cases We’ve Won for Our Clients Against Mutual of Omaha
Fields Law Firm successfully recovers millions of dollars each year for our disabled clients throughout the United States. Our Long Term Disability experience is matched by very few other law firms in the country and has earned us a national reputation.
Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Mutual of Omaha.
Librado – Systems Support Technician – Bakersfield, California
Cervical Radiculopathy, Myalgia, Muscle Weakness, Paresthesia of the Skin
A systems support technician from California had to stop working due to his painful, disabling medical conditions, including cervical radiculopathy, myalgia, muscle weakness, and paresthesia of the skin. Although his claim for Short Term Disability was approved by Mutual of Omaha, his subsequent claim for Long Term Disability was denied.
Unable to work, and now without his financial safety net, he reached out to Fields Law for assistance. The Fields team gathered medical records and a Functional Capacity Evaluation that showed our client’s inability to work. The attorneys drafted an appeal, urging Mutual of Omaha to grant the client the benefits to which he was entitled. His Long Term Disability benefits were granted, and he received a check for the backpay that had accrued on his claim.
Thomas – Trail Builder – Fayetteville, Arkansas
Spinal Surgery Complications, Spondylitis of the Thoracolumbar Region, Low Back Pain
A trail builder in Arkansas was forced to stop working due to disabling medical conditions, including complications from spinal surgery and spondylitis of the thoracolumbar region. Initially, he was approved for Long Term Disability benefits. Then, after 10 months, Mutual of Omaha abruptly terminated his benefits.
He reached out to Fields Law for assistance, and our team appealed the termination. After providing the insurer with significant evidence supporting the client’s disability claim, Mutual of Omaha reinstated our client’s benefits and sent him all the backpay he was owed.
Dave – Senior Software Engineer – Chandler, Arizona
Bilateral Drusen, Bilateral Nuclear Senile Cataract, Left Macular Plucking, Bilateral Vitreous Degeneration, Blurred Vision, Vision Loss, Defective Visual Field, Status Post Cataract Surgery
A senior software engineer in Arizona developed visual issues which forced him to stop working. As his condition worsened, he knew he was unable to return to work full-time. He applied for Long Term Disability benefits which were denied by Mutual of Omaha.
Unsure how to handle the denial, he reached out to the attorneys at Fields Law for help. The attorneys requested all the necessary medical records and provider support for the appeal. After submitting the evidence along with the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned the initial denial and started paying him benefits.
