Long term disability insurers have very specific guidelines for determining eligibility and strict conditions involving what they will cover. Often there are rules and regulations that you will need to follow throughout the claims process to ensure that your claim is valid; not following these rules exactly may result in a denial or at the very least unnecessary delays. If you have received a rejection from your insurance company, Findlay long term disability lawyers can help file an appeal or prepare to file a lawsuit against your insurer. 

It's unfair that in many people time of need, they discover their LTD benefits are hard to receive, usually because their insurance company tries to stall or cancel their benefits. Contact us today and get a legal team that knows what to do. Call 905-522-9799 and get a free consultation.

Insurance companies are known for denying LTD applications initially, in the hope that those denied will simply accept they are not covered, and simply leave the insurance companies alone. Although this is unethical behaviour, initial LTD applications can be rejected for many reasons. 

Typically, to qualify for long term disability benefits, you must have a disability (deemed so by a medical professional) that leaves you unable to perform the duties of your job. Unfortunately, many insurance companies unreasonably deny disability benefits to people who qualify, as they know some people will not push back against an initial denial, leading to increased profits for the insurance company. 

You do not necessarily need to have a physical disability in Ontario to qualify for a benefit claim. Long term disability insurance can cover several medical conditions such as chronic pain, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, severe bipolar disorder as well as other invisible disabilities and health conditions. This is one of the major reasons to connect with an experienced long term disability lawyer, as they will help you to explore all your options available to you. 

Your immediate action is critical when it comes to being wrongfully cut from your long term disability benefits. Any delay will only harm your chances of getting your benefits back!

The first step you need to take is to contact one of our experienced disability lawyers, who will be able to review your situation and determine the best course of action. Our lawyers will help you throughout the entire process, so you will know exactly what needs to be done and when. You will never be alone during this process. 

In Canada, disability claimants are entitled to benefits providing they meet the criteria of total disability. The meaning of "total disability" is when you cannot perform the duties of your outlined occupation, even if you can perform other tasks at another job. After two years, disability policies change their meaning; you must be unable to complete the activities of any occupation that you are suited for depending on your education and experience. 

Insurance companies will commonly cut people off their disability benefits after two years, citing that they have found the person to no longer meet the requirements of “total disability”. Although this can happen in some cases, insurance companies are known to unfairly cut benefits and then reinstate benefits once confronted with a court case. Sadly, there are too many Canadians that simply accept their benefits have been terminated, so much so that insurance companies find it ‘cheaper’ to litigate with the few that push back for what is rightfully theirs. Therefore, it is essential that you talk to one of our long term disability lawyers about your benefit termination, and getting your benefits reinstated. 

Insurance companies in Ontario operate to save as much money as possible, while fulfilling the minimum terms of their contracts. Occasionally, these insurance companies favour saving money than fulfilling sections of confusing terms of their contracts, especially when someone is perceived to be too weak to challenge an insurance denial. 

Having Findlay Personal Injury Lawyers work your case on your behalf allows you to focus on rest and recovery, rather than paperwork and procedure. Having a team with over 40 years of experience in this area of the law means you could greatly improve your chances of a successful outcome.

Of course, denial of claim is not the only issue you can run into when trying to receive long-term disability payments. You may find that people are following you, recording your activities and trying to catch you in a compromising position. You may also discover that your insurer has said they will pay, but are sending delayed or reduced payments with no explanation. These are all tactics insurance companies try to use to save money for themselves. Call us and we'll help guide you through the entire process, including on what insurance companies can, and cannot do.
