Here are just a few examples of our Long Term Disability appeal case wins against Mutual of Omaha.
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.
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.
