Who’s Who List of Carriers

There’s an old saying: “A man is known for the company he keeps.” In insurance law, the saying goes: “A claimant’s attorney is know for the insurance carriers he has battled.”

There is scarcely an insurance company that Mike Quiat hasn’t tangled with on behalf of his clients.  Dealing with a specific insurance company gives valuable insight into that company’s strategy and methods of operation in disability income insurance and long term care disputes. In any case against an insurance carrier, a little knowledge of how the other side works is a very good thing.
Over the years, Mike Quiat of Uscher, Quiat, Uscher & Russo, P.C. has represented policyholders in disputes with providers of ERISA and private disability income insurance, health insurance, life insurance and long term care insurance. Below are some of the major insurance carriers he has personally battled for his clients:

            UNUM               MetLife                Prudential               Guardian  


  • AXA
  • BroadSpire
  • Cigna
  • Equitable
  • Hartford
  • Mass Casualty
  • MetLife
  • Mutual of Omaha
  • Northwest Mutual
  • Provident Life & Accident
  • Standard Insurance
  • Unum Provident
  • Berkshire
  • Chubb
  • Disability Management Services
  • Guardian
  • LINA
  • Mass Mutual
  • Minnesota Life
  • New York Life
  • Paul Revere
  • Prudential
  • SunLife
  • Union Central
Many of these cases involved ERISA claims. Some did not. Many of these cases involved straightforward physical disabilities. Some involved more complex psychiatric or neurological claims. Some of these cases were resolved quickly. Some were not.

But, all of the cases received the care and attention which veteran attorney Mike Quiat knows is required to pursue a claim against an insurance company which is in “denial”.
