Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Mutual of Omaha.
Cristela – Assembler – Linwood, California
Hand Injury, Chronic Pain
An assembler from California suffered a debilitating hand injury and was forced out of work. Her initial claim for Long Term Disability benefits was approved, and she remained on claim for years due to the severity of her conditions. Unfortunately, she was left without a financial safety net when Mutual of Omaha unexpectedly terminated her benefits.
Unsure of how to proceed without her monthly payments, she contacted the team at Fields Law for assistance. The Fields team analyzed her claim file and presented medical evidence of the client’s conditions, which clearly showed her inability to work. Mutual of Omaha reversed their decision and the client’s benefits were reapproved. She received backpay, and her monthly benefits resumed.
Carolina – Spanish Teacher – Brentwood, California
Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Headaches, Cognitive Deficits
A Spanish teacher from California stopped working because of her multiple sclerosis, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, and cognitive deficits. She applied for Long Term Disability benefits but was denied when Mutual of Omaha determined that she could work full-time in her regular occupation.
Knowing she needed help, she contacted Fields Law. The Fields attorneys reviewed the insurer’s claim file and drafted an appeal. After reviewing the appeal, Mutual of Omaha overturned their prior determination and approved her claim resulting a lump-sum payment and ongoing benefits to the client.
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.
