Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Mutual of Omaha.
Daniel – Technician Representative – Satsuma, Florida
Narcolepsy
A technician representative from Florida with severe narcolepsy had to stop working. He applied for Short Term Disability benefits, but was denied by Mutual of Omaha, stating that he could still work full-time in his occupation.
Frustrated with the insurance company and worried about his income, he contacted Fields Law for help. The attorneys at Fields Law reviewed the insurer’s claim file in depth and gathered doctor’s records and reports to strengthen the appeal. In response to the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned their prior determination and approved his claim resulting a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits to the client.
Patricia – Diagnostic Production Tehnician – Lexington, Kentucky
Herniated Disc, Osteoporosis, Lumbosacral Back Pain, Insufficiency Sacral Spine Fracture
A Diagnostic Production Technician from Kentucky suffered from a herniated disc, osteoporosis, lumbosacral back pain and an insufficiency fracture of the sacral spine. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits and was denied as Mutual of Omaha determined her conditions fell under a pre-existing condition exclusion.
Worried about her income, she contacted Fields Law for help. Our attorneys reviewed the insurer’s claim file and gathered doctor’s records and reports to file an appeal. In response to the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned their prior determination and approved her claim.
Wilson – Service Technician – Calhoun, Georgia
Congestive Heart Failure, History of Stroke
A service technician for a large trucking company in Georgia suffered a stroke due to a chronic heart condition. This left him with chronic weakness, speech difficulties, and cognitive impairments. He was no longer able to work, applied for disability benefits, and was initially approved. After two years of benefits, when the definition of “disabled” under his policy changed, Mutual of Omaha terminated the claim.
In response to the termination, our client reached out to Fields Law. Our attorneys wrote an appeal which included updated medical information, outlined the symptoms that the client dealt with daily, and illustrated why he was unable to work even an unskilled, sedentary occupation. On review, Mutual of Omaha overturned their termination, made payment to the client of benefits that were past due, and resumed paying his monthly benefits.
