We want to help you understand how this insurer handles claims so that you have the best chance of securing the benefits you need. Below, we discuss Mutual of Omaha long term disability complaints and what policyholders should understand about the disability insurance carrier.
Mutual of Omaha’s Track Record With Lawsuits and Settlements
Mutual of Omaha Insurance is a Fortune 500 company. The company made $271.5 million in profits in the last fiscal year. It is a business, and like any other business, it continues to look for ways to increase its bottom line. As a result, the insurer does not gladly payout every insurance claim. In fact, it may wrongfully delay or deny policyholders’ short term or long term disability claims. When disability benefits are unfairly denied, we recommend seeking help from a disability insurance attorney experienced in handling ERISA claims. Our attorneys have handled hundreds of these types of cases over the years for clients nationwide.
Mutual of Omaha Disability Insurance Complaints
Our legal team hears many Mutual of Omaha disability insurance complaints. In a lawsuit against Mutual of Omaha, the claimant, Nancy C., complained that the insurer was “arbitrary and capricious” in denying her claim. The insurer determined, based on its own investigation, that the claimant could perform the material duties of her job. Nancy C. was required to drive to at least 8 different counties in Kentucky to meet her job expectations. Understanding the material functions of the claimant’s job and the evidence presented by her attorneys, the court ruled that the insurer did act arbitrarily and capriciously in denying her long term disability claim.
Dealing With a Delayed, Denied or Undervalued Mutual of Omaha Disability Claim?
If your Mutual of Omaha long term disability insurance claim is delayed, denied or undervalued, you are fighting an uphill battle. In our experience, policyholders may have more trouble with claim delays. The insurer may make multiple requests for financial, vocational and medical information. At the end of your claim processing, even with the additional submitted information, the company may still deny your claim. It is a delay and deny strategy that unfortunately we see all too often.
If you are having trouble with your Mutual of Omaha disability insurance claim, it is crucial that you contact a disability insurance attorney for help. An experienced Mutual of Omaha disability attorney can help you face challenges, including:
- Requests to supply unnecessary information

This is your final chance to introduce evidence to support your disability claim. As this is the case, it is vital to have an attorney help you with every component of the appeal.
