Orangeville Long Term Disability Lawyer


Long-term disability (LTD) benefits are designed to help seriously ill or injured insurance policyholders when they are unable to carry out the duties of their jobs because of a prolonged, disabling medical condition. Eligible claimants who have the appropriate level of insurance coverage and cannot continue performing the tasks associated with their current occupations because of a disabling medical condition may be entitled to receive between 60-70% of their regular wages through monthly payment installments

Unfortunately, many insurance companies find reasons to deny claims for LTD benefits submitted by policyholders whose medical conditions legitimately prevent them from doing their jobs. As a matter of fact, even though insurers are not compelled to disclose exactly what percentage of LTD claims are denied each year, by examining the number of disability claims annually denied by the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), it can be determined that more than half of all LTD claims are initially denied by insurance companies. 

Additionally, even people who have received LTD benefits could have their payments terminated by their insurance providers prematurely. Oftentimes, this occurs for reasons that can seem arbitrary and unfair. Insurance companies might cease making payments to qualified recipients of LTD benefits because:

  • The policy’s definition of disability changed after 2 years of providing LTD payments
  • The policy has time limitations for certain conditions
  • The policyholder did not continue receiving medical treatment 
  • Surveillance investigations conducted by insurance companies found the policyholder engaging in questionable activities
  • Videos, photos, and other social media posts shared by the policyholder are misconstrued or taken out of context by insurance companies
  • And more

The insurance coverage available to disabled workers is not intended to fully replace their total lost income when they become unable to continue working. In fact, many insurance plans impose a cap on how much coverage policyholders might be entitled to receive. That said, for people struggling to manage the debilitating symptoms of their disabling medical conditions, LTD benefits often provide a crucial degree of financial security. Without access to these critical benefits payments, disabled workers might find it impossible to continue making ends meet. 

If your claim for LTD benefits was denied even though your medical condition makes it impossible for you to perform the duties of your job, or if your LTD benefits payments have been terminated even though you are still not capable of returning to work, our Orangeville long-term disability lawyers may be able to assist you.
