When her husband died of Covid, an Omaha mother of 10 was told his $350,000 life insurance would not pay out; she took the insurer to court twice, and a jury has now awarded her family $11.3 million

In a landmark decision, a Nebraska jury has awarded Vaneza Ramos $11.3 million in damages after a lengthy legal struggle spanning six years. This case emerged when Farmers New World Life Insurance denied her claim following the tragic loss of her husband, Jose Gaitan, to COVID-19. With ten children to support, Ramos depended on the life insurance policy that the jury ruled Farmers Insurance improperly refused, illustrating their bad faith.
