Disability Claim Cases Involving Standard

The Standard is one of the largest providers of both individual and group long-term disability insurance policies. Attorneys Dell & Schaefer have taken the depositions of numerous employees at Standard and we are familiar with all of their disability insurance claims handling tactics.

In 1906, a German immigrant named Leo Samuel founded the company that would become The Standard, in Portland, Oregon, where it still remains headquartered. In 1946 the company name was changed to Standard Insurance Company. Then in 1998, StanCorp Financial Group, Inc. was created as the holding company for all the business divisions of the company.

StanCorp’s Standard Insurance purchased part of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA) group life and disability portfolio in 2002 for $75 million. Later in 2006, the company purchased investment services firm Invesmart for $85 million. In 2007, StanCorp purchased several retirement plan administrators in July 2007 to add to their Retirement Services division

StanCorp Financial Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries marketed as The Standard. Standard Insurance Company, The Standard Life Insurance Company of New York, Standard Retirement Services, StanCorp Mortgage Investors, StanCorp Investment Advisers, StanCorp Equities, StanCorp Real Estate, and StanCorp Trust Company is a leading provider of financial products and services.
