If you have long term disabilitycoverage through Mutual of Omaha and are struggling with a serious medical condition, you may already know how difficult it can be to secure the benefits you’re entitled to.

Like many disability insurers, Mutual of Omaha has a reputation for scrutinizing claims closely, often looking for reasons to delay or deny benefits rather than support claimants in need. Whether you’re preparing to file a claim, responding to a denial, or simply unsure about your next steps, understanding how Mutual of Omaha handles disability claims can make all the difference.

Riemer Hess has over 25 years of experience fighting long term disability insurance companies on behalf of our clients.  We have won long term disability claims, appeals, and litigations with all of the major disability insurance companies.  Through this experience, we've learned the tactics each insurance company uses when evaluating long term disability claims and how to overcome them to secure benefits.

Below you can find more information about our strategies for securing benefits from common disability insurers.  Feel free to ask us about our experience with other insurers if you do not see yours below.  We have dealt with all of the major insurers and many of the lesser-known ones.

Riemer Hess aggressively litigated a hotly contested long term disability lawsuit against Sun Life – ultimately winning over 15 years of unpaid benefits for the Plaintiff, despite Sun Life’s unsuccessful appeals. The judge’s opinion in this case is a major victory for the Plaintiff, as well as future disabled claimants who are victims of insurance company abuse and delay tactics.

Your insurance company IS watching and IS more sophisticated than ever.

On August 5, 2013, Riemer Hess won a landmark victory in McDonnell v. First Unum Life Ins. Co., 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 110361 (S.D.N.Y. August 5, 2013).
